I'm in the middle of wrapping up the edits for Effective Pandas 3rd Edition. (I also wrote a Polars book and just wrapped up a weeklong training session on pandas this week.)
Pandas is not perfect, it has a bunch of warts. But it is good enough for most. (And many of those folks are using Excel or tableau or power bi... These were the types I was training this week).
If you have medium data, migrating from pyarrow backed pandas to duck or Polars is trivial.
Out of curiousity, why wouldn't someone just migrate directly to Polars?
