I absolutely agree with you. Wizards for stastistic newbies and functions for advanced users. What I believe need emphasising is not the problem of coding but constructing tools for newbies. As we all know statistics is a powerful decision support tool - still inferring meaningful information from statistic analysis needs some information about the methods (and concepts - for example statistical significance).

As I mentioned before Java and something like http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/JRI/ should do the trick (platform-independent).
