There’s probably a healthy balance somewhere between this and the PyPI approach. But I will say, R (including most CRAN libraries) is a dream to use for data analysis, whereas Python is an exercise in frustration. CRAN libraries are idiomatic, work without fuss, and feel like a cohesive ecosystem. In my experience, working with too many Python packages feels like holding an airplane together with tape.

Using pandas is so annoying in comparison to R built in data wrangling that its amazing to me people not only have the patience for it but the lack of an ability to look out of the trenches for a moment, just reach for easy R, and be done with it.
