Are there any comments as to the maturity of Pandas as compared to R?

I am used to the Python syntax, and while R is another language to learn, my assumption is that for data analysis its age compared to Pandas implies stability.

I could of course be wrong.

I've not had any problems with pandas' stability. Where the age difference shows is in the availability of specific statistical methods. The Python package 'statsmodels' is working on that, but it's some way behind R.
