matplotlib only knows about numpy arrays so plt.plot(arr, ...) will act like plt.plot(arr.values, ...) by design.

How does it (matplotlib) preserve Series index then?

style is pandas-only kwarg (xarray lightly wraps matplotlib)

Would it make sense to make it (DA plotting interface) a bit more pandas-compatible by supporting style? Given that it copies pandas syntax like arr.plot.line() anyway...

Also, if plot() is meant to be a thin wrapper around matplotlib, it should support positional arguments, since you can do plt.plot(x, y, '.-') just fine, but da.plot('.-') fails complaining about unexpected positional arguments.

Currently, neither of the two options above work, making DA plot interface inferior to both raw matplotlib and pandas.
