Agree. It's naive to assume your use case is the basic one when using these libraries or that you know the underlying implementation and all of the parameters, since in ML the implementations vary enough to affect the outcome and will have different controls.

To the point of exploratory analysis in some of the parents ,I prefer statsmodels for that purpose. It's not quite up to where the similarly purposed tools are in other languages, but for most of my work where I care about interpretation, it hits the right spot between usability and providing the standard statistical outputs.
