I use it extensively in conjunction with python, buiding gnuplot files and
data that are then used to generate image files.

Granted that I only work in a *nix environment which is built on the
principle of building on the work of others and is easy to tie disparate
programs together to accomplish a job.

For example, I have a python script I run at one of our ISP customers that
gathers postfix mail queue sizes from a cluster of mail servers creating
data files and a gnuplot script to generate a plot of mail queue size over
time for each cluster server.
