One piece of context I try to bring into discussions is that the way I test and develop siuba is by livecoding data analyses for an hour [1]. I encounter a lot of arguments like "X is possible with pandas", but when I sit down with analysts in realistic settings (e.g. time constrained) it turns out X works in more limited ways then they thought [2][3].
I'm a big fan of pandas though. It's what siuba is built on!
