Tidyverse excels are all steps of DS - EDA, stats and visualization. However, you have to accept that Python can more or less do this and a lot more by the way. Its still worthwhile to invest your time in R, I just feel that I have to learn a lot more in pandas/numpy world than spread my attention thin.Datacamp has a strong R track with some moderately indepth finance courses thrown in. Do take a look at them and there is the evergreen Art of R programming book. Good luck!</blockquote>
