Blog Discussion Thread

Hey - it's a place to discuss interesting blog articles. Since this is in the R subforum I guess it makes sense to keep it focused on R but if you think we should expand it I would be open to that.

First article that I'm sure everybody will hate is titled "Why I don't use the tidyverse"

I also don't like it and don't see myself using it anytime soon (the gg-family being the obvious exception because ggplot makes things SUPA PRETTY).

For better or worse, though, the reason I don't use the tidyverse is the same as for why I don't use RStudio: I just never "grew up" in R using them so the few times I've tried them makes it look super alien and cumbersome to me.

Not even tidyposteriors:

I like dplyr and tidyr for analysis...for programming they're a *****...mostly because the API is constantly changing. You can't make data science pipelines with an unstable API.
