I am only scratching the very surface of data science, but coming from .NET 1.0 and just starting to learn Python, I'm still finding it far easier to use Python for these tasks. It's most likely just the library ecosystem, and I'm hoping that Microsoft continues to add officially supported libraries to .NET for these tasks. ML.NET feels very foreign to me compared to using other libraries in Python, even as a beginner in Python (although I have experience with various languages, but only minimal experience in functional languages, mostly F#).
