Is Python or R better for a professional to use h2o deep learning?

Options

A professional with deep domain knowledge without strong software skills wants to use h2o for deep learning. Which of Python or R would be better for this person?
I think R would be better as it is very simple to learn so the professional can focus more on the domain issues rather than the software issues.
But do I miss something important that would make Python a better choice?
