After a long discussion with Anna Krystalli and some work using R reviewed by Mario Antonioletti, I got convinced that we should teach Tidyverse to novices because it solves some R issues. One example is to use readr instead of native R read.XXX function because it fix the conversion of white space to dot in headers.
Data Carpentry R Ecology doesn't use Tidyverse. I don't know if they have any plan to migrate the lesson to Tidyverse. And I don't remember if any other Carpentry lesson adopts Tidyverse from the begin specially because of the overload of teaching how to load it to novices which was the source of a log discussion for the Python lesson that never reach a agreement.
