Comparison – R vs. Python: head to head data analysis

matplotlib seems a good contender to me

On paper perhaps, less so in application. Sure you can probably make matplotlib do everything ggplot does with enough work, but working with ggplot is just so much quicker easier and more fun.

And I say that as someone who does all his data analysis in Python.

I have rewritten the python ggplot to put it on per with ggplot2.

You can try out my dev version [1] (rewrite branch). It will be nearly API compatible.

Even regular R plotting is still far easier and more intuitive than matplotlib, not just ggplot.

I completely agree. ggplot is the only reason why I sometimes use R.
