Any new library will have a learning curve. I used Pandas for many years and never could get used to it, never mind memorize most of it. It was always all over the place with no consistency. Switched to Polars a year or so ago and never looked back. I can now usually write it from memory as the method structure is clear. Still running Pandas in a production system that doesn't get many updates but that's all. Even if you like Pandas, you cannot ignore how incredibly slow it is and more importantly, a memory hog.
