I use both, but R for interactive analysis and reporting, Python for data transformations (ETL).
While the syntax of Python is "cleaner" for backend scripts, R feels more straightforward when working with dataframes (dplyr) resulting in things to report on. The syntax for ggplot2 fits the same category.
As much as having one languages for both categories would be nice, using both today seems like a better option.
