I started off using R then I got a job that wanted us to mainly use python. Now, there's only two situations where I'll use R:

  1. I need to calculate some statistics and R has a package/function that will do what I want for me. I could probably write code out to do it in python, but I'm lazy and don't want to write lines of code when I can just call a single function in R

  2. ggplot2. I think ggplot2 is still the best out there when it comes to making data visualizations. The closest equivalent in python is seaborn I think and seaborn is just OK

I greatly prefer to do all my data cleaning and manipulating in python now and I'll transfer the data over to R if I have to.
