My data point:

I use tikz for diagrams (sorry) and gnuplot for plots/graphs for all of
my research publications.  And for my lectures, but that's by the by, I
guess.  All in org, of course!

Yes, tikz has a steep learning curve but there are so many examples
available (e.g. http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/) that it is
usually easy to get something reasonable unless you have very complex
needs.  There is also a WSYIWYG editor for tikz which I've never used...
