Basically with tidyverse, R can let you write less code and keep it readable: https://www.sumsar.net/blog/pandas-feels-clunky-when-coming-...

Can't speak to abandonment, but it seems a lot of recent devel is occurring inside the the tidyverse, which is deprecating a whole bunch of other stuff.

I will agree that I left just as tidyverse was coming of age and I'm sometimes jealous i never got to use it.

What Hadley Wickham has done is very impressive.
