Although I agree and don't like R very much, I believe ggplot is still the gold standard for creating top-quality visualizations. None of the python (or other language) clones are quite as good. For projects where the end goal is a complex or detailed graph or plot, it's sometimes worth trudging through R to achieve the best final result.

Yup, not a data scientist but often do data processing to analyze the outcome of experiments (drone-flight related). I'll use Python/Jupyter if there's a significant amount of clean-up that needs to happen, but R/ggplot is unbeatable if I'm trying to look at the data from different perspectives. As an example, I was trying to look at GPS data the other day and ggplot() + geom_point() + geom_density_2d() was an absolutely perfect way to better grok what was going on.
