If you are coming from R, then you likely want the scientific computing stack (scipy, numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, pytables, statsmodels, matplotlib, ... the list goes on). And for that (which links extensively to C and even Fortran libraries), conda blows pip out of the water. There are other solutions (like Enthought's Canopy distribution, for example), but conda is so nice that I really have little incentive to try others. All the best, Jason
