My workflow for the past year has been develop/analyze in Rstudio and port to Python when ready to deploy to production. Notebooks and VSCode still feel cumbersome to me and not designed as an analytics-first solution.

The time needed to re-write a script in another language, and often using different packages, seems more than made up for by the ease of use of Rstudio.

I honestly don't understand why we all went this route of "port to Python". I mean we do it too (not my choice) but it really makes no sense to me.

Because software engineers hate R, and nobody really hates Python that much.
