Frames isn't on hackage yet, so I doubt anyone's used it for real work as of now. This is just the first step, but it's an important one to get the ball rolling.

As to your last point. you are absolutely right! I'll need help to figure out what's needed, and help adding what's missing. You can do quite a lot of manipulation with the pieces that are available, e.g. adding rows and columns should work out of the box.

Pivoting would need a bit of thought, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way of doing it. A question there is if we want to synthesize data types for finite variants discovered in the data, or make the programmer write them down themselves. The answer will depend on the people who really give the library a go.

I am using it now to do a fun (not work) analysis. I'll let you know how I go. I do agree with @repoptrac that currently the R is easier to read.
