I think the post is useful as an overview of a lot of options, and how hard they are to get started with.

True, you'd use R charts because your data and analysis are in R, you wouldn't use R because of the charts.

Hm, I don't think you can speak for everybody. I find myself (re)creating a chart in R quite often. I sometimes create visualisations for print, and I just want an SVG or PDF to then import to Illustrator. Before I knew that you can export PDFs in Tableau, I often used Tableau for the analysis part and then went to R to recreate the same chart and export as PDF.

hey, if it works! though doing analysis in Tableau and charts in R does make me cringe a little … https://goo.gl/9mgTTI
