I use sage for all my figures, and at the moment to get exactly what I want I use axes=False and create my own axes and labels with text() and line() commands. This is somewhat painful at first but after writing a couple of functions its not too bad. Hopefully Mike and others' enhancements will make my hacks obsolete. One thing I have needed is to combine multiple plots with different scales - for example imagine wanting to combine listplots of GDP and life expectancy. You need two sets of vertical axes, something that might be hard to do even with the improved code.
