I'm not GP, but I find the pandas API incredibly inconsistent and difficult to remember how to do simple transformations. For example, it sometimes overloads operators because it doesn't use built in language features like lambdas. There are reasons for the inconsistency, but using the alternatives like R's tidyverse or Julia's DataFramess.jl is like night and day for me.

I found RedFrames [1] recently which wraps Pandas dataframes with a more consistent interface, it's probably what I'd use if I had to write data transformations that had to be compatible with Pandas.
