Here's my entry on the list, as this was a topic of conversation over lunch: it's better than the proprietary statistical software I use most of the time. By better I mean that the language is consistent, the features are all well-documented and none of it appears to have been rushed out onto the market. The proprietary software that I use most of the time at work seems hurriedly cobbled together and R (nor LaTeX nor Emacs nor Linux nor...) doesn't give me that feeling. > The money-saving in itself is not a reason good > enough Interesting ;) I know what you mean -- it may even make them suspicious.
