The only exception is `ggplot2`: it was written before the pipe was discovered and use `+` instead of `%>%`. Unfortunately, the next iteration of `ggplot2`, `ggvis`, which does use the pipe, isn’t quite ready for prime time yet. + +The pipe is a powerful tool, but it’s not the only tool at your disposal, and it doesn’t solve every problem! Pipes are most useful for rewriting a fairly short linear sequence of operations. I think you should reach for another tool when: + +## When not to use the pipe + +- Your pipes are longer than (say) ten steps. In that case, create intermediate functions with meaningful names. That will make debugging easier, because you can more easily check the intermediate results, and it makes it easier to understand your code, because the variable names can help communicate intent. +- You have multiple inputs or outputs. If there isn’t one primary object being transformed, but two or more objects being combined together, don’t use the pipe.
