I think this isn't quite what we want. The row-based examples shouldn't use Pandas at all, just list of dict. And when we do use Pandas, being column-oriented is fine.

@wjones127 i think some of these are specifically within the section on pandas integration so those are ok. But I agree that in general we should default to list-of-dict

Yeah I agree many of these places should stay as Pandas and are fine as is. So my complaint there is this PR changes them to do row-wise construction with Pandas, which is weird. We should leave the Pandas-specific examples alone, and focus on removing Pandas from places where Pandas isn't relevant.

@wjones127 @changhiskhan Thanks for the feedback, fully agreed.. I've pushed changes, please see if everything is addressed.
