I work on yt, and I just wanted to comment to say that whenever I stumble on a mention of it somewhere, I genuinely feel warm inside. Thank you for thinking of us!
One of the things we've tried to do -- especially by leveraging the technology and innovations in the tools we build on (especially matplotlib!) -- is to make it easier to make visualizations and plots that are "by-default" communicative and information-rich.
And, of course we have lots of room for improvement, for picking up and encouraging "best practices" at the library level, but it has been really enjoyable and illuminating to have the opportunity to explore that with the community.
