R does not mean only esoteric statistics. You have many more utilities in the R packages to diagnose and select models. Fitting a model is like 1% of the work, diagnostic is the more important part and R has much more to offer than Python ever will.

Statsmodels has tons of model diagnostic...and there is no R equivalent to Pymc3 (stan has less capability and worse API)
