That is so true 
- these things:
- you can actually manage your R version via Python/Conda environments (Data separate and melting - #9 by mlauber71) and also deploy these settings via Conda Environment Propagation from KNIME
- for Python I recommend to manage one’s environments thru YAML files in KNIME (Tensorflow/Keras installation conflict - #4 by mlauber71). Also useful if you use the same Python environment with Jupyter notebooks and stuff
- If one does not want to do all the Python installation stuff you can just use the new bundled Python envooironment that would provide you with a full Python version without all the conda (Excel Formula Knime - #4 by mlauber71). You can do nice stuff with that (Workflows: 4.6, Python, Knime – KNIME Community Hub)
