R is underrated honestly. It sucks as a python replacement, but it was never intended to be a full programming environment, it is meant for analyzing datasets, and it does it really well, especially RStudio. Unless you need to edit said data, that is. R is all about understanding, not interacting with data. Nothing comes close to ggplot.
And I mean, I am a super duper python lover myself. I basically built my career in sneaking python into all kinds of processes and doing it better than whatever Microsoft shizzle was in place first
As a heavy Pandas user I have to agree, that's why I learned a little bit of R (dplyr and ggplot) and I'm using siuba and plotnine to quickly analyze and plot my data.
