You'll get used to it and it will only take a couple of minutes. And I honestly believe nothing comes close to ggplot2 in terms of quality, and I don't use R for anything else.

How does it compare to matplotlib?

Plots are typical composed, and when writing a paper (I insert them mostly into TeX publications) I do find the quality of the resulting plot is just so much more refined.

Seaborn is indeed closer and was definitely inspired by ggplot2 in some areas, but IMHO, it's still not 100% there visually. I'm very much a Python user and would love it to be, but when I'm, let's say, publishing a book, I'd always go back to ggplot2 - when preparing a paper for a lab class, seaborn is probably fine.
