thanks for all the answers. I think also ggplot2 requires data.frames.If you 
want to add variable to data.frame you have to use attach, detach. Right?Any 
more links that discuss thoe two different approaches?Alex

 This is partially a matter of subjectve opinion, and so pointless; but
I would point out that data frames are the canonical structure for a
great many of R's modeling and graphics functions, e.g. lm, xyplot,
etc.

As for mutate() etc., that's about UI's and user friendliness, and
imho my ho is meaningless.

Best,
