Thinking something is really great and how I want to see the future develop is not a religion or a quasi-religion. It's just my experience, one that I hope others can benefit from.
I think it's totally fine to use base R or data.table or whatever else you like. There is no one right way, and I have used all of these and more in different contexts. But if people are getting impressions of pros and cons from the discussion here on HN, they should be aware that claims of API instability are several years out of date. It would be a shame if people were scared about instability that isn't there.
