geomnet looks intuitive and versatile. I love how directly and naturally it merges with existing ggplot2 code. As a new user, I am wondering what the best use cases are for geomnet versus ggraph or DiagrammeR. From my reading so far, I suspect that geomnet graphs are easier and quicker to create and that the ggraph and DiagrammeR have more features. Do you think an assessment and some recommendations would be appropriate for the README?

This article gives an overview between ggally, ggnetwork and geomnet: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-023/RJ-2017-023.pdf

What I really like about ggraph is the possibility to use igraph instead of sna, which gives you the option to use a more expanded choice of layout algorithms for networks. For example, the fruchtermanreingold implementation in igraph gives the option of using weight.
