Well, since we are thinking of it... What about prettyplotlib's style? I am
not sure I want to completely steal either project's style as it is their
own look-n-feel (and there are some aspects of their styles I don't quite
like, but I am something of a luddite...). But I would certainly be
receptive to addressing whatever egregious appearance faux pas we may have.
Perhaps the owners of those projects could provide use feedback on what
they might consider their "short-list" for things they would fix in
matplotlib?
