Anyone who wants to use Natural Earth vector data to make a map or perform other geographical analyses.
More limited subsets of Natural Earth data are available in at least the following CRAN packages rworldmap, rworldxtra, choroplethr, maps, oce, tmap. rnaturalearth is different in that it provides a comprehensive reproducible solution for access to Natural Earth vector map data either pre-downloaded or by facilitating download. By separating data access from visualisation this package provides a resource that can be used by other visualisation packages.

The package is currently too big because of the fine scale (10m) data. Hadley suggested :
"I think you need to keep the data under five meg. I'd suggest that you put the fine level data a separate package - you can then make that available via a drat repo (perhaps the ROpenSci one?), or just via github."
I don't know anything about drat repos. I'm happy to take advice and modify the package(s) as recommended.
