I was looking for a way to combine shapefile geometries in a single artist, decided to give a quick try to GeoPandas and it blew my mind. Here is a quick speed test merging Ehlers et al. LGM global and alps paleoglaciers, removing duplicates, and plotting in Orthographic projection (as in the logo) with:
Cartopy BasicReader in 2m41s,
Cartopy FionaReader in 2m45s,
GeoPandas read_file in 5s!
Besides the increase in speed, GeoPandas will simplify hyoga internals and provide users with more flexible objects for further manipulation or plotting styles. However this will also introduces changes in API. To avoid future breaking change or deprecation warnings, I think I want to get this right before v0.2.
