"The real problem with this package is that it makes things easy, instead of hard"

  That’s a rather glib interpretation of what I said. I’m being rather charitable when I call the tidyverse “user-friendly”. That might be the goal of tidyverse devs, but it hasn’t been the reality since inception. The point is even if we assume it is or will eventually become user-friendly, are we willing to accept the trade-offs that come with that?

    I think the users have clearly delivered the verdict that it is friendlier than base R. Admittedly a low bar. Non R users, which do you prefer: foo[foo$bar == “baz”,] foo |> filter(bar == “baz”) ?

      The first one by a mile. Is this a joke?

      Or maybe foo[bar == “baz”]
