I really enjoy the tidyverse, especially dplyr. I do most of my work in python now and find myself moving more and more of time in python.

There are definitely some issues if you have to reliably run scripts (not to mention the difficulties of putting into production)

The thing I really like about R over python is for SPECIFIC tasks like inspecting data and trying to get an answer out quickly, there really isn't a quicker or better tool to use. The ONLY reason I still even use R is because of the ease to get answers with the tidyverse

I would love some examples where R makes it easier to get answers than Python. Probably would make good Pandas2 issue too!

This is super controversial, but no need to use Jupyter.

I personally find that Jupyter feels like a hack compared to something like RStudio. You have to open a terminal and launch a web server?
