A different take on the subject (https://r4stats.com/2017/03/23/the-tidyverse-curse/ https://r4stats.com/2017/03/23/the-tidyverse-curse/):

- Cosi1125 8y agoThat's right! And I always keep telling my peers that they should think twice before they decide to use tidyverse packages in the production code. What I meant is that in R you always have choice - and even if you feel that the existing solutions don't meet your expectations, you can always write your own (even if it means writing a DSL like Hadley et al. did in ggplot2 or rlang).
