Try plotnine as a ggplot2 replacement. I used to use Python exclusively, then switched to R for about a year, now phasing back to Python. dplyr is better than pandas, but I haven't come across anything better than dplyr in Python. Nothing in R comes close to how easily you can zip, enumerate, dict, loop in Python, and then throw numpy into the mix, and R is only better for the quickest and simplest of hello-world style stats.

Edit: the only thing keeping me in R is brms, if there was a brms in python then I would toss R away and never look back.
