What is the motivation behind deprecating many of functions in 1.0 release?

According to the API reference, many of pyjanitor's functions are to be deprecated in the 1.0 release in favor of either pandas' native methods or pyjanitor's transform_columns. In my personal subjective taste, I prefer to use janitor's more descriptive names in my ETL scripts than terse equivalents. 'add_columns' just reads nicer than 'assign'.

Is there a good reason to deprecate so many functions in the 1.0 release?

Hi @vovavili apologies for the late response. Pyjanitor tries not to replicate functions that already exist in Pandas. add_columns may read nicer, yet it does the same thing as assign. You can always create a function and use pipe, or create a method with pandas_flavor

Thanks for the feedback - we do appreciate it
