This week's LWN contains a piece comparing Linux and Minix, the charts used looked a bit familiar but it wasn't until I read the comments that I realised they'd been created with Gnumeric.
The editor had trouble adding a key (to indicate which colour is Linux) and a caption (to say which is better, long lines or short ones) so he simply didn't have them in the article. I remember that I had some similar trouble at first with Gnumeric's chart engine. Once you're used to it there's a lot to be said in its favour, but when a new user first tries it there's not a lot of hand-holding available. Is there something that can be improved here, to make charting features more discoverable ? Jonathan Corbet is a fairly smart guy, my guess is that if he can't use it, at least 90% of spreadsheet users can't either.
