I was (wrongly) guessing performance. Tibbles are ok for smaller data sets where data transformations don’t need to be in place and there’s no risk of running out of RAM. Data tables perform better, at the cost of what I think is a less ergonomic interface. See benchmarks here (compare data.table with dplyr): https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/ https://h2oai.github.io/db-benchmark/
