That is partly the reason, I am stuck with learning one language for now, resisting all the hype that comes with other competing languages for Data Science. Hopeful, one day everything converges, which ever way.

Good logic.

Having been a Python user myself and now passed to R, I can't be more than agree with you. Python is very counter-intuitive compared to R and I've found R echosystem richer. And Jupyter notebooks as programming IDE..aAAGGHG!!! Once you try Rstudio, there's no option

Python has many problems as a language choice for analytics. I could spend a whole weekend discussing these. Echoing the point of this article, I think Python has completely unnecessary syntactic structures, such as "list comprehension", and has a heavy tradition in object-oriented programmings style. Therefore, solutions in Python are not as obvious as they are in R.
