You're not the only one. Though I've found there seems to be a bit of a cult surrounding the tidyverse, a mere hint of criticism usually results in outrage and attacking other tools/packages (by users, not the authors).
I like the Tidyverse. My only complaint is that it presents another headache when moving from one language (R) to another (usually Python/SQL). Using the base R functions while integrating loops and functions lessens the fatigue of moving between R and Python.
