If I'm doing some data science just for fun and personal projects, is there any reason to not go with Polars?

I took some data science classes in grad school, but basically haven't had any reason to touch pandas since I graduated. But, did like the ecosystem of tools, learning materials, and other libraries surrounding it when I was working with it. I recently just started a new project and am quickly going through my old notes to refamiliarize myself with pandas, but maybe I should just go and learn Polars?
