Ask HN: What do you use for basic data analysis, visualization, and graphing?

I often find myself with some JSON data that I want to visualize. I usually end up converting to CSV, uploading to a Google Sheet, and manually creating charts. BUT this is really time consuming and I find Google Sheets charts pretty difficult and painful for quickly exploring different views of the original data.

So what do you use for this type of thing?

I know python has lots of good utils for data wrangling & graphing, but I'd prefer a solution which is: no-code, gives me a bunch of common graph views I can quickly choose between, and that "just works" 99% of the time.

Thanks!
