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).

I believe we should thing about flexible framework for defining 
Rwizardz/Rfunctions. Having this new ones could be added later.

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