Veusz is nicely designed and quite original. There are a few Qt-based programs more similar Origin: QtiPlot, LabPlot, SciDAVis. In 2009 there was a big announcement, featured on LWN and other Linux websites, that LabPlot and SciDAVis (QtiPlot fork) will merge, but soon after both projects died.

At that time QtiPlot was very actively developed by one guy who was living off license fees on his GPL'ed program. I was trying similar thing then (with program called fityk) and emailed him to ask how is he doing. In my case, it was interesting experience but after a few months and depleted savings I had to find a day job. He survived much longer with more popular program, but I suppose he also has a day job now.
