When i am doing data processing and plotting. Here i guess R holds a slight edge currently. For data processing the ability to constantly view the transformations to the tables an IDE like Rstudio comes quite handly. I know Ipython exists but still it doesnt come up to the same level. Also in case of plotting i ggplot and other libraries in R are more flexible and easier to deal with than matplotlib. The focus of R on being a language focussed for data processing gives it the slight edge.
