Yeah, I've been using R for about 7 years now.
I find it frequently unpleasant and the documentation often makes me want to stomp on puppies, but in the end, it NEVER let me down.
Hadley's Tidyverse (and RStudio) has breathed new life into R, but I wish that stuff was available in other languages. NOTHING comes close to ggplot, for example, for composing sophisticated plots with compact but expressive code. dplyr for data wrangling fits like a glove.
After you've wrestled your data to submission, you then have a vast amount statistical analysis you can do out of the box using R libraries and little effort. I don't want to like R, but I can't avoid it.
