I knew IBM had bought it up but I guess I missed the memo about changing the name-changing to a different name-change. I'm wondering if you should have a spatial statistics category as well as (or instead of) a GIS category. GIS would be more about making maps and manipulating geographic data in a non-statistical way, whereas spatial statistics has wider applications to 2-d data in general. The Spatial Task View you reference talks about both aspects. For R, spatial stats packages include spatstat, splancs and gstat. I don't know if SAS or SPSS do point-pattern analysis or Kriging. It seems odd that SPPS Maps is 'defunct', as you say, since there's such a rise in geospatial technologies. Have they got anything to replace it? Can you make maps in IBM SPSS Whatever?
