two reasons for me

1) tidyverse makes prodding and plotting my data faster and more enjoyable. when I am prototyping a model I'll sometimes do the groundwork in R and then migrate the production version to python

2) I can't seem to write data wrangling code in py that is as aesthetically pleasing and easy to reinterpret later. could just be that I started in R, but while the methods in pandas "work" I don't always totally understand why they work the way they do. with tidy it works the way I expect and feels easier to read back and iterate on
