What are you on about? R has a specific use, which is statistics and data science. For those purposes it reins supreme. Even for developing dashboards, R-Shiny is a breeze compared to Pythons's Dash. R is awesome.

Also, to quote a comment[0] of yours from 2 days ago:

What you are saying is that since you prefer something everyone should do the same.

And what you prefer is the correct choice for everyone ...

There are many great things about R that you can point out - Shiny is not one of them.

In terms of integration of a first-rate statistics language with anything resembling a web interface, not only is Shiny great, but it pretty much reigns supreme.

What's wrong with Shiny? It's reactive. It's efficient. It's straight forward. It works well. It works with tons of great plotting libraries.

It's not perfect, but I'm struggling at finding bad things to say about it.

You quote a reply to a post that advocated for all education to be segregated. That means making a choice for others.

In this post, I make a recommendation of staying away from R. It is not even a remotely similar context.
