Description
One more thought before the private beta winds down: Opinion only, and others may differ, but I prefer the RStudio approach to filtering data in the viewer pane. I realize the Positron approach is more like what Excel uses and will be familiar to everyone. But if you are filtering multiple columns, it is so much easier to click once and get multiple boxes to fill in than to have to click twice for each column. Plus in RStudio it's easier to see and modify the filters.
