Interesting, but I think your opinions are mostly the opposite to
mine, as I prefer to use R or XLispStat when available (and ViSta is a
nice tool for some circumstances) and MINITAB is my least favourite,
but it's been replaced by SPSS in most instances here, although maybe
not for the best reasons.
