That's definitely sounds like a bad coders. However I would say that if someone comes from other more classic programming language background he will write a bad and slow R code by default. Especially if he is pressured into delivering fast and don't have time to search/learn the best solution. I was amazed how often you can solve something with one or two lines in R and those 2 lines will have so much better performance, better readability, maintainability and reliability than something you would do without thinking. But you have to know those 2 lines and which libraries to use etc. R actually is extremely elegant language and probably most productive language if you know what you are doing however it's not very beginner friendly (especially coming from other languages).
