Why do you say that? Base R is arguably nicer to work with data than pandas is for example. Happy to provide specific examples to prove my point if you want.

my main frustration with pandas was certain idioms did not work efficiently because they escaped the pandas kernel, causing memory copy and other bad behavior.
