You can learn about the theory that underlies tidyeval at https://adv-r.hadley.nz/quasiquotation.html. I'd claim that it's neither reinventing the wheel (because it solves problems that the base equivalents do not) nor bizarre (because it is backed by a deep, well-founded theory).

CRAN is a weird universe, but not (just) for the reasons you mention. CRAN is still heavily human maintained which means that there's a high chance that an actual human will look at your packages (at least for your first package). This imposes a considerably higher barrier to entry than most package repos, and hence I suspect CRAN actually has a considerably lower percentage of slop.

You’ll be able to adjust plots. But you have to do it with code, not UI.

We're working on this! Education is really important to us so this is 100% a problem we want to solve.

We do discount heavily for academia: get 50% off for research and 100% off (i.e. free) for teaching. But I do get that our pro products largely solve problems that folks encounter in larger enterprises, and you may not see the value inside an academic department. I'm also always happy to learn how we could do better, please feel free to reach out to [email protected].

Why is that disappointing?

You should check out https://siuba.org and https://plotnine.org :)

Hmmmm, I think that's something we could probably help with in dbplyr by providing something like `last_sql()` that would return the most recent SQL sent to the database. (By analogy to ggplot2::last_plot() and httr2::last_request()/last_response()).

I filed an issue so I don't forget about this: https://github.com/tidyverse/dbplyr/issues/1471

I love this framing :)
