What do you think of R beginners learning tidyverse packages (dplyr, magrittr, ggplot2)?

I started using R in 2010 before tidyverse packages existed, and one thing I have noticed is that now most beginners are told how to do things using dplyr and magrittr before really knowing how base R works. I wonder if this is confusing to R beginners, in that they have higher overhead in learning syntax and concepts, or whether it is worthwhile as tidyverse is pretty much the industry standard nowadays. What are your opinions?
