If you are a regular user of #Rstats for geospatial work, would you say that the #RSpatial ecosystem is, broadly-speaking, in a good place following the recent retirements of GDAL etc?

Specifically, I am interested in whether you think the #RSpatial workflow is user-friendly and efficient.

Edit:
I am referring to the rgdal and rgeos package retirements.

@gavin Just to clarify -- GDAL was not retired (the rgdal package was). There are many ways to use GDAL tools in R, including through packages such as sf, terra, gdalraster, and others; R also has excellent spatial viz tools, with packages such as tmap, mapview, mapsf, and many others.
