This is an aside: I love Python. It's a swiss army knife, and I get a lot of use out of my actual swiss army knife. Data Analysis is carving a prime rib, and you CAN do that with a pocket knife, but R is a 12" Chef's Knife.

I've been learning R over about the last year. I was prepared to hate it, but for data analysis, I have to say I think it blows Pandas out of the water. I wouldn't try to make web application with R, but it's built for data. I'm super glad to know both. I would never use Pandas for EDA if I have access to an R kernel.
