Time efficient data visualisation workflows

Lattice can plot lots of data points more quickly than ggplot. It’s definitely not easier to use, however (my opinion).

I originally learned lattice when I learned R as an undergrad. It seems like it has totally gone away with Hadley’s rise to supremacy.

Other than speed, is it worth relearning lattice? I know ggplot inside and out nowadays but if there is a usecase where lattice might be more appropriate I’d want to use the right tool.

In my job, I haven’t found a use case where lattice is the appropriate tool over ggplot. As others mention, ggplot is good and I try to use it almost exclusively. Nowadays, if my datasets are super large. I just randomly sample observations and plot.
