I would also add two good reasons to stick with R: RStudio and Hadley Wickham.

In theory, there are Python and Julia equivalents to RStudio (JupyterLab, Spyder, PyCharm, Juno, whatever) but RStudio is just so, so, so good. A truly great piece of software.

And of course if you have a data pipeline type workflow, and it fits into the Hadleyverse paradigm and isn't too performance intensive, there's nothing better.

Julia has it's own "*verse" type data pipeline framework, with an even greater variety of backends and plotting solutions than R.

It's still in development (mutate and select have PRs) but it's almost there.
