I think a big part of the answer for SO is the popularity and inscrutable nature of pandas. 'Popular, useful and incomprehensible' make for excellent Stack Overflow growth.

Got to agree. I used to google pandas problems for remotely complex stuff because it wasn't really intuitive how to do it in pandas. Now I have a better context for how simple such things can be because of data.table in R.
