I get a similar impression but to contextualize, in terms of statistical programming what you’re saying is even more so true of what came before R, but a thousand fold worse. In that context R is fantastic. For example SAS makes R look beautiful and consistent. And that’s more a comment on SAS than R. And this isn’t to say python is perfect either, but I prefer it.
