I use Python whenever I can. But honestly, R is still better when it comes to exploratory data analysis.

Some advice: R is digestible (and sometimes elegant) if you only read it line by line. Just try to look at an entire file R file as little as possible or your eyes will melt.

Haha good to hear. I definitely want to learn more R, but it's worth tempering my expectations that it's the end all be all of data analysis.

Interesting. What's your take on pandas regarding EDA?

Pandas is great if you have a background in object-oriented programming! If you don't, it has been known to make R-users who don't have a background in computer science very angry.
