I recently wrote a tutorial on dplyr here: http://www.sharpsightlabs.com/dplyr-intro-data-manipulation-... To put this simply, dplyr's syntax is set up to create streamlined workflows. All of the major data management tasks (sort, subset, group, summarize) are easy to do. And they can be "chained" together (much like using pipes in Unix…
