Yeah but once you've done it once in R you can just dump your data again, update the theme and boom, done again.

Also 30 minutes? maybe 3.

You can save template in Excel too.

I know Excel is wonky sometimes and it is from Microsoft, so it comes with a whole lot of bullshit around it, but in terms of available features it is quite solid nowadays.

Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them...

To me that's the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn't matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.
