And he's definitely not wrong, as many of these have bitten me a bunch over the years. > I'm interested in non-flamewar non-religious reasons that the tidyverse is bad. For the very reason that it's great to use, it's a nightmare to develop with. NSE is super handy as a user, but it's an absolute nightmare to build new functions on top of (dplyr specifically). Like, I now know 2-3 different ways in which quoting/substituting etc can be done for the tidyverse, and I've had to maintain code using them a bunch of times. It's incredibly annoying, and every time I do it I need to look up Hadley's new approach to NSE (don't get me wrong, I adore using the tidyverse, but I absolutely despise programming with it).
