Recently started using rvest for web scraping. Sweet bejeezus that's a pleasure. I would've never considered R for scraping before. It was always Python with BeautifulSoup.

I would also check out dplyr for data munging. Since most of the code in dplyr is written in C++ it is much faster than the munging capabilities you probably used when you were using R years ago.

Indeed. I use dplyr frequently.
