Why should one person dictate what our coding style should be, especially in an open-source language, and however well intentioned? It’s also hard not to see this as a land grab by RStudio over the whole R ecosystem — all to their profit.
I said at the beginning that the tidyverse solved some incredibly annoying problems, which needed solving. That it did. But that’s no reason to adopt the whole shebang — or the coding style that comes with it. I use stringr, for instance, one member of the “verse,” and don’t feel bad about it. But I get more suspicious the more my basic methodology gets dictated to me.
For the wrangling of data frames specifically, we have a very clear alternative in data.table. Its functionality and styling are more modest extensions of the bracketing notation in base R, and also highly logical for SQL users. It has its oddities too, and is probably more of an advanced feature — but so much the better: learn base R first and data.table when ready.
