Thanks a lot, that's very insightful.

Comparing the launch of Effective XGBoost to Effective Pandas: What do you think: What are the reasons XGBoost had so much more sales in the first days?

* bigger audience? * better topic? * anything else?

Audience size and launch. According to Google trends, Pandas is much bigger than XGBoost.
