> hammering 6+ semi-coherent interfaces (indices, databases, mutability, immutability/chaining, numpy, dataframes) together, That's a pretty succinct way of expressing one of panda's biggest pain points. The API surface is huge because it heroically tries to handle all possible use cases. I do think it would've been significantly easier to develop, maintain and _use_ if pandas was more opinionated and offered a smaller set of very focused functions.
