I think you could probably argue that you could do things in multiple ways in python. e.g. how many plotting libraries are there? Seaborn, plotly, matplotlib and bokeh all sort have a take on it. Admittedly in R we have a few ways to skin the cat, but if you put ggplot code in-front of someone who's used R in the last 10 years, they will get it immediately.
Pain points I do see a lot though still:
