You're clearly on the dplyr bandwagon, but as someone who wrote R code for about 10 years before dplyr came along, and saw the direction the language was going, it's the reason I now mainly use python. I just could not put up with the non-standard evaluation so everything ends up being a 100+ line script instead of composable functions, and breaking API changes every 6 months.
