Interesting. Although after spwnding a lot of time on data frames, I have grown to like the csv parsers in postgres where I can do a lot of the same things as data frames, but with clean sql instead of the sometimes odd data frame syntax.
R also stands out because it is so easy to run a wide variety of statistical methods easily on a data frame.
