### Pros

"I think the best thing about RStudio Desktop are the scheduler for Python scripts, personally these have saved hours of tedious work making it a must-use tool for our team."

"In my eyes, RStudio really gives R a clear edge over Python since Python has nothing that is as good as RStudio to offer in terms of IDE, not even close."

"What I find most beneficial is the ability to create reproducible research and reports using R Markdown"

### Cons

"RStudio might slow down your computer, sometimes has trouble with big outputs, and doesn't have a menu for data analysis"

"RStudio is limited by its language, as it is not particularly useful for web developments as it was built for statisticians."

"R is not able to be used in online applications, for example, which is just one of many restrictions it has."
