Description
I think the number one source of issues for people using seaborn are places where I've managed to find bugs in the osx backend. I think the major one is here: #2654 but there are a couple of others that I'm failing to think of off the top of my head.
As part of the general rcParams changes, I would like to propose changing the default backend for Mac uses to one that is more stable. (I mean, ideally, fixing the tight_layout
issue would be best, but progress on that seems to have stalled and it does not look from the linked issue like there is a clear path forward).
As I've mentioned before, I do most/all of my plotting in the notebook so I may be ignorant of counter-weighing virtues of the OSX backend, but from my perspective it seems to be not quite ready for primetime and a source of some really confusing, and totally devastating, errors.
