Hi Raniere, We are teaching the tidyverse in the Data Carpentry R ecology lesson. We recently transitioned to using read_csv and write_csv instead of the equivalent functions that come with R. We are keeping some of the syntax and notation of the base R programming because even if the tidyverse is becoming increasingly popular, people will inherit code from lab members that is not using it, and knowing a few key elements of the syntax will help.
