Python vs. R in data science

One question constantly persists: Python vs. R, which one is better for data scientist. I read many blogs and forum discussion, and although some answers are great, quite a few are subjective. 

Here I found one great, detailed comparison, and I totally agree with the author's conclusion, the original link is here: 
https://www.dataquest.io/blog/python-vs-r/ 

Convert this blog's summary into a table for easy reference: 
R:
  • more functional 
  • more data analysis built-ins
  • larger ecosystem of smaller packages 
  • more statistical support in general
  • ...... R is build for statistician! ...... ​
Python:
  • ​more objective orientated
  • relies on packages (pandas, scikit-learn)
  • has "main" packages for data analysis
  • ..... statsmodels ? not quite  .... 
  • non-statistical tasks is quite good
