Well said! At the end of the day, these are just tools, and whichever toolbox you pick, your priority is to become proficient at using it.

Though I have to disagree with the DataCamp infographic you have shared on one point: R is definitely not easier to learn than Python if you have no programming experience. Especially considering the wealth of resources available for Python beginners. My first language was C++, so naturally I gravitated towards R as a similar, curly-bracket language. I would not recommend R for data wrangling to absolute beginners.
