The ggsave argument order is "counter intuitive" (when compared to other functions which write files, e.g., write_csv. By that I mean the plot and filename arguments).

It's clear to me that this is because ggsave was written long ago, without having %>% in mind, and perhaps putting filename first was equivalently reasonable.

I personally keep confusing the two.

I wonder if we can put some smart validation check in ggsave which if encounters a ggplot in the first argument and a string (i.e., path) in the second argument will figure out that arguments were specified in reversed order. Perhaps issue a warning but perform the export.
This will make it more compatible with other functions, and with the %>%, as well as backwards compatible.
