I'm starting to use the great `ggplot2` package for plotting in R, and one of the first things I ask myself before each plot is *"well, will I use `qplot` or `ggplot` ?"*I understand that `qplot` provides a simpler syntax while `ggplot` allows maximum features and flexibility, but what is the function you use the most, and do you have some precise use cases for each one ? Do you use mostly `qplot` and `ggplot` only for complex plots, or do you use `ggplot` everytime ?Thanks for your feedback !
I use ggplot2 every time. The reason being while there are more arguments to specify, it ultimately has more functionality with regards to visualizations and introducing other variables. ggplot2 is particularly useful in the event you get feedback and need to change the type of chart entirely (e.g. line graph to bar graph). Using ggplot2 would ensure you can make major changes without doing too many revisions.
