Giza has still some functions unimplemented [1], and I have no experiences with it: neither with the library itself, nor with upstream. Therefore, I would leave this decision to the individual package maintainers -- once Giza is in, you may write wishlist bugs for them if you like :-) My question is more the first step , which includes giza as a library with the /potential/ to replace pgplot, but without a strong recommendation.
