title: What are objective benefits and drawbacks of read.csv() versus read_csv()?
body: <p>This is a more conceptual question, but in class today, I was told by my professor that it would be preferable to use <code>read_csv</code> rather than <code>read.csv</code>. For more context, we are working with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidyverse" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tidyverse</a> in this class.</p>
  <p>As such, since <code>read_csv</code> and <code>read.csv</code> (as far as I'm aware) both read <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CSV</a> files, what are the objective benefits and drawbacks of using one function versus the other?</p>
