After moving from Python and its "clear rules" of having one and only one obvious way of doing things to programming in R.

I like R and the flexibility of have many different ways of doing anything. What you lose you gain with quick evolving libraries and work flows. R is light years past where it was just five years ago and Python is still stuck at trying to go from 2.7 to 3.4. R has gone from R 1983 to a fast adapting language due to the flexibility of how you can do something.
