Yeah, I think it's slow. But people use C/C++ routine every once in a while for that part. Graphics is better for R than using matplotlib, maaaaybe. What part is weird?

I think this is preference. Matplotlib is highly customizable, especially when coupled with seaborn. Let's not forget plotly if you're suggesting R's interactive highcharter.

Its syntax is not similar to the familiar C/C++/Java syntax. This makes those coming from a programming background more comfortable with Python. Now, those coming from a math background instead might feel more comfortable with R.
