Odd to see a statistics-focused site to emphasize plain text as opposed to formats that promote usability/reproducibility like Notebooks such as Jupyter (or R Notebooks, as discussed last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14522795)

The post correctly notes that R Markdown files are plain text, but the benefits of such (version control) are not discussed by the OP.



What are the possible benefits of doing something that could be done using plaintext, using a JSON blob?
