I've used python for years, decided to teach myself R for a masters class I'm taking.
I have to disagree. Its main model is generic function method dispatching. It can feel odd at first to someone coming from the C++ style of OO where objects own methods, not methods owning objects. But it's a legitimate OO style with its own advantages. [1]
I've found the more I use R, the more intuitive a lot of its operations are. It's relatively easy to "guess" what you ought to do to accomplish what you want. More so then other languages I've learned.
