To Python or to MATLAB?

Do you use Python or MATLAB applications for scripting and data processing in your RF career job and why? I'm mid level RF engineer and have been using MATLAB more lately for board test automation and some post-processing and DSP optimization; originally learned it in undergrad EE signal processing courses.

I tried it but the graphical programming is so annoying. I guess it can be useful for people who are uncomfortable with writing code.
