Perhaps I should clarify, I'm talking mainly time series and/or data which is vectorizable. Python is better if you're scraping the web. If there's a lot of if else going on. Ie imperative programming.
R's native functional aspects (all the apply family) and multilevel vector/matrix hierarchical indexing is better built from the ground up for large wrangling of multivariate datasets, in my opinion.
