When I think of the verb "plot", I think "contruct a visualization of the input data". This does not necessarily include building/opening a GUI window, which is just one method of using that visualization. I understand that in your mind: "But I would never want to do anything else with it!" But that's just not a very nice perspective for such an insanely flexible language like Julia.
Also, like I mentioned earlier, you CAN have the behavior you want in Plots, just by setting the default value for the keyword "show". So you can have your way without forcing your perspective on everyone else. Certainly this info could be more prominent in the docs... I'm happy to hear suggestions on that.
