My apologies...I suppose "swallowed" is a little too harsh. Maybe "overshadowed" is a better choice? Of course, that is just my opinion and not based on any hard data.
NCSS is a decent package and does a few things easier than other packages I've used. But, frankly, the only part of the NCSS "suite" that I use on a regular basis is the PASS module which is my favorite sample size package. NCSS is similar in feel to SPSS, but I do believe SPSS seems to have the edge in terms of marketing, thus my statement about "swallowed up". Sorry if this offended NCSS aficianados and developers since that wasn't my intent.
