I don't find pandas intuitive (API simplicity), then you have the hard to debug issues and perf

• isoprophlex 2y ago
  Yes, agreed. The API is a big inconsistent kludge, has many warts, and generally requires too much typing and memorization. The performance is subpar. There are some very annoying design choices wrt. implicit type coercion that don't jive with my personal preferences, which caused me recurring grief. And to engage in some light gatekeeping, there sure is a lot of terrible pandas code out there written by people that have no business calling themselves programmers. I fully realize this can happen anywhere, but I'm never excited anymore to read a line of pandas.
