Eventually, I hit a point with R where I was trivially doing pretty complicated things that would have been... ugly in Python.

I'm curious; can you give any examples?

There have been others, but this was a pretty good example of 1.) munging data easily 2.) having libraries available that did what I was looking for

I make no guarantees about the quality of my hackish code :-)
