My personal proclivities incline me to use SAS (or Minitab) for
analysing mixed effects models. I have never been able to get my
head around the S/R syntax for such models, whereas the SAS/Minitab
syntax seems perfectly clear to me.
For ***ANYTHING*** else I would use R.
(In my work I don't encounter the multi-multi-megabyte data sets
for which SAS apparently has a pronounced advantage with respect
to speed.)
