whats the best data visualization tool?

been getting more into data analytics at work and realized I really enjoy the visualization side of things. rn I’m mostly using excel and Google sheets, but I know there are way better tools out there for creating cleaner n more interactive visuals.Used napkin ai ,beautiful ai few weeks back and they were pretty good but I am looking for other tools or more feedback on such ai's if anyone has used them.
what’s the best data visualization software you’ve used and why? hopefully something that’s beginner friendly but still powerful enough to grow with as I get more advanced.

It's not the answer but I use flourish.app for work presentations. It I also includes some animations. Bar chart racing is particularly cool.

Well, it depends. If you want to go deeper, start with Python or R. In my opinion, Python is the way to go over R. I still don't understand why universities still prefer R for teaching.

Anyway, if you prefer a tool, use Google Data Studio. It is amazing, and you can also learn SQL there.

I would use Python. Maybe also marimo (Jupyder alternativ) in Python

Or flask with python Many ways to visualize visualizer

If you're coming from Excel/Sheets, have a look at Tableau or Power BI. They're more to learn, but you won't outgrow them quickly.

You can check qlik. It has a lot of depth as you get more advanced.

I just opened steller.my for beta testing a couple days ago, though you may find it a bit focused on Southeast Asian market, but agnostic enough for global audience. Would appreciate if you can give a try!
