I can't stand the non-standard evaluation of the tidyverse. It works great for writing one-off scripts, but as soon as you start trying to put it into functions or your own package it's just not worth the pain of quosures and the tidyeval nonsense that changes every 6 months.
- claytonjy 8y agoI used to feel similarly, but I think it's much more stable than it was even a year ago; `!!`, `enquo`, and `:=` is good enough for the vast majority of users who want to write their own NSE functions now.
- vertere 8y agoI hate it as well. And then you get people going on about "functional style" while throwing referential transparency out the window.
