We are not out to convince anyone to switch from ggplot2 (and we are not planning to stop developing that).

ggsql is (partly) about reaching new audiences and putting powerful visualisation in new places. If you live in R most of the time I wouldn't expect you to be the prime audience for this (though you may have fun exploring it since it contains some pretty interesting things ggplot2 doesn't have)

Totally get that. I was mostly just long-windedly complaining that the one problem I have with it seems to be exacerbated by, not fixed, by this. I was also hoping someone would say “oh it’s actually way easier than you think, see (amazing link).”

I really do think it’s a good idea to explore! Sometimes I feel crazy because I’m the only one in my department that prefers to just write SQL to deal with our DBs instead of fiddling with a python/R connector that always has its own quirks.
