The gp's comment wasn't made regarding the look of the operator in its ascii representation `|>` but about the vertical misalignment.

Typically you align a pipeline like so:

     df
     |> rbind(other_df)
     |> select(...)

But these topics are largely left to code formatters these days.

Weird, I have always aligned as the gp showed. I’m reasonably sure tidyverse documentation does the same (which is probably where we both picked it up from).
