As a programmer - R is painful, and I'm sick of its stupid data structures.

What do you use as an alternative, if you don't mind me asking?
[–] justletmevoat 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Python, Lua and occasionally Julia.

No love for MatLab?

I think people generally compare the two open source ones, since when you get to commercial there is just way too many different offerings. SAS, SPSS etc.

Firstly, fuck people who use images that mostly contain text (and a few graphs). What is this, the 90's?
Really? I don't know R but in my experience it's a lot easier to write 2 completely different programs that do the exact same thing in a GPL than it is in a specialized language.

Azure Machine Learning loves both :)

Azure Machine Learning is part of whole ecosystem, for data science it supports many machine learning algorithms and models out-of-the-box and allow to write custom modules in R and Python.
