Dash is really the go-to library if you want to build some complex, flexible dashboards. I found for highly customized dashboards it's a lot easier just to program your own instead of squeezing Tableau's rules.
It’s also way simpler to just pull everything in and manipulate it in Pandas, if your data is not pristine from the get-go.
Icicle chart uses a divergent colormap when it should probably use a sequential one. Sometimes I wish I never saw that one talk

Have similar experience with Plotly + Streamlit when PowerBI starts to collapse under its own weight :) It’s also way simpler to just pull everything in and manipulate it in Pandas, if your data is not pristine from the get-go.
That said, Tableau is still useful for the "ordinary" dashboards, e.g. it's a lot easier if you just need to do some simple calculations and get your KPI. Tableau is still way faster than any other programming language.
I can attest first hand to how great Plotly is. I'm building Mito[1], an interactive spreadsheet that converts every edit you make into the equivalent Python code, it's also a Jupyter extension. We use Plotly for all of our visualizations -- letting users configure bar plots, histograms, scatter plots, etc similar to how you could in Excel. Plotly's API is really simple to use and it allows for interactivity right ou…

I’m wondering. How does that work in terms of pricing and license? Do you need to pay a fee to plotly?
What do people here think of plotly when compared to matplotlib? I've read through some of the api documentation and have created graphs with the latter, but don't have much experience with plotly.
