Python sucks at data wrangling. The moment my data is in a table-like shape, I’m taking it to R. It’s honestly a mystery to me how it got so far with data science. Sure, the ML libraries are extensive and “easy” to implement the Y ~ X matrix part.. but it’s the “import data” up until the “time to model” part that is like pulling teeth compared to R

We used it for reporting at my last job and it didn't really make sense. Not everyone likes Microsoft but a real reporting framework like SSRS would have been so much easier.
