Good morning,

How do you choose between the CRAN release of OSX R versus the Brew release?

I am asking your personal preference, and now how to install one
versus the other.

Because I already used Brew, I went with that and it has worked fine.

The only downside has been that R always crashes when I use ggplot2
with the quartz device, so now I only use the x11 device which, from
what I hear, is visually more crude.

Kind regards,
