hard second. ggplot2 was the last (only) good package hadley ever wrote; the rest is more about reinventing the wheel and viral-marketing with hex-stickers than about getting work done. the newer stuff in particular is atrocious; heaven forfend function calls that don't require understanding the lore of a package (`recipes` has stupid functions like `recipe`, `bake` and similar nonsense).

at a push, base + data.table + ggplot2 get everything done. tinyverse ftw.
