R Markdown Users: Why you should switch to Quarto NOW

Marketing for Quarto started in 2022. I finally got to try it. My conclusion: If you use R Markdown, you should switch to Quarto NOW. In the video, I give three main reasons.

Resources mentioned in the video:

Documentation: Quarto website

Thank you so much. I knew about Quarto when it came out, but I needed convincing to learn it. I read some posts about Quarto to see if I need to use it, but I'm completely convinced after watching your video. Your video is short, but it covers all valuable points.

Thanks for this presentation, Wolf! I haven't used quarto yet, so this was a great overview for me.

Thank you very much for your videos, I subscribed to the channel!

Lately, I've been trying to convince my friends and colleagues in a subliminal way to go from Rmarkdown to Quarto. The arguments you presented are exactly what I was missing, thank you! I also have 2 questions:

1. Xarigan presentations are what prevent me from transferring all my remaining rmd to qmd. You said that reveal.js works pretty well on Quarto, is there a feature that is missing compared to Xarigan?

2. You said that Quarto could support languages that do not yet exist yet. I am also a Nim user, is it possible to use Nim in it and what would be the missing functionalities since the language has not been implemented yet?

Again thank you for your video!

Thanks for the video. very helpful. Looks promising, but for use cases where controlled page layout is critical (posters, "one pagers", brochures, etc), it seems maybe we'll have to wait for paged HTML support ala pagedown?

Great video! Any idea on how to customize an individual page's URL in quarto?

Hi, guys. I got a strange problem. Some shortcuts work in Rmarkdown, but not in Quarto. For example, Insert Assignment Operator, Insert Pipe Operator. Anyone runs into the same problem?

How about blogdown? does Quarto also replaces blogdown websites?
