> Data exploration: I find this easier in R. Packages like dplyr help a lot here. Pandas' API is somewhat cumbersome I can’t claim to have tried everything out there, but so far it’s been my experience that matlab beats the socks off everything else when it comes to data exploration. I’m mostly looking at time series like data (but mostly not statistics). The ability to do things like click on a datapoint and export it and it’s index back to your workspace sound trivial. But in practice it’s a huge convenience and I’ve been unable to find a plotting package for python or Julia etc that can do things like this.
