Terra pkg? #278

Description

@holtzy

Dear Yan,

Some feedback on your site "The best R packages for data visualization":
the section "R packages for geospatial analysis" is missing the 'terra' package, which does practically everything 'sf' does with vector map analysis (and in several ways it's even better, e.g. fewer dependencies and a better awareness of the sphericity of the world -- as you can test by plotting a large buffer around something near the 180º anti-meridian), plus raster mapping and analysis. Your page on "The Retirement of rgdal" also misses the 'terra' package, which I believe should be side by side with 'sf' in replacing 'rgdal'. 'terra' is also compatible with 'leaflet', 'tmap', 'ggplot', etc. (though for the latter you need to load also the 'tidyterra' package).

Regards,
Márcia
