I am so happy to hear more voices in this conversation.

I do not mean to impose on any one else's ideas - It's just an attempt to maybe summarize and help the discussion. While other users might have different needs, I think the basic stats are covered...

The zero based bar charts with whiskers for for min / max are interesting. Why do you prefer those over the floating bars (indicating min/max) with a line or dot to mark the average?
I think either is fine, I'm just curious if you have a reason for picking this one that would push me to prefer that as well :-)

Also (and I've seen this in other places), why the horizontal bars for years? I would most likely have always done vertical bars, but again, maybe there's a good reason that I'm missing?

Again, thanks for chiming in.
