Gavin MastersonIf you are a regular user of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Rstats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rstats</a> for geospatial work, would you say that the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RSpatial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSpatial</a> ecosystem is, broadly-speaking, in a good place following the recent retirements of GDAL etc? Specifically, I am interested in whether you think the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RSpatial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSpatial</a> workflow is user-friendly and efficient.Edit: I am referring to the rgdal and rgeos package retirements.

R Consortium**geometa** provides an essential object-oriented data model in R, enabling users to efficiently manage geographic metadata.

Sharon MachlisFun with shapes: Scripted mapping in R or Python "Let's face it, QGIS is the Excel of geospatial analysis. Sure, doing simple mapping in it and ArcGis is a blast, but executing complex, reproducible joins and measurements can be a real drag. Whether you choose R or Python, follow along from mapping basics to more complex techniques that will make your next geospatial analysis a walk in the park."
