> You’ll notice one other small change to the tidyverse message: we now advertise the conflicted package. Not a fan of the nature in which tidyverse promotes itself. They used to be more aggressive - i.e. advertising their books in package load messages [1]. But these new changes still feel like an ad. To me, as an outsider, tidyverse seems to mainly be about "dplyr". The main thing holding all of it together otherwise is just the fact that majority of their functions return a "tibble" instead of a data.frame, forcing you to load all the jungle of the rest of their stuff whenever you use one of their packages.
