The read.spss parameter defaults are: use.value.labels=TRUE, to.data.frame=FALSE,
Is there some reasoning other than historical for this choice? In most instances, it seems that the opposite default choice (use.value.labels=FALSE, to.data.frame=TRUE,) would better preserve any existing structure of the underlying SPSS dataset as it is imported in to R. I feel especially strongly about the to.data.frame=TRUE being the desirable default given the central role of data frames in R. Of course, I guess a user could always write a wrapper function, but the instances where you wouldn't find the wrapper function useful seem minimal.. Any insights?
