Jenny Bryan and Jim Hester have written about why it’s best practice to not restore .RData at startup as part of their What They Forgot to Teach You About R workshop. See, in particular, Chapter 1 of their materials, where they write:
Saving code – not workspaces – is incredibly important because it is an absolute requirement for reproducibility. Renouncing .Rdata and restarting R often are not intrinsically important or morally superior behaviours. They are important because they provide constant pressure for you to do the right thing: save the source code needed to create all important artefacts of your analysis.
