I just recently decided to try R to analyze some data ive been generating.
I've always looked down on it as a "worse & less flexible python", but boy was I wrong. You can theoretically do all the same things in python as in R, but the R experience is so much smoother. 20 lines of setting up stuff in python is reduced to like 10 for the R equivalent.
ggplot2 is super intuitive compared to matplotlib. The inbuilt dataframes + tibbles are just as good if not better than anything pandas does. Besides all that, the libraries R has seem to be much higher in quality and in number, than python has, for data-science related stuff.
