I think this is what the author is getting at, that correct tidyverse usage requires greater experience and knowledge and creates difficult to debug and optimize code when used incorrectly (and is easy to use incorrectly).
I tend to agree. I've found tidyverse code has a write-only quality to it. Since I'm going to see more of it I plan to dive into the inner workings of at least dyplr and purr.
That said it is hard to deny what Hadley Wickham has done for the R community and I can't write off the idea that he sees a bigger picture I'm missing.
