This has been discussed quite a bit on this list, and we agree.

Yes!  It's amazing.  That's why I get the digest :)

This is as good a time as any to mention that John Verzani invited me
to give a talk at useR2010! (the exclamation point is part of the
title, so no Nathann here), and I'm going!  This is at
http://www.user2010.org/program.html#Mi and 
http://www.user2010.org/abstracts/Crisman.pdf
.  Feel free to let me know all of the best ways to use them
*together* (I already have lots of examples of using R in the
notebook, including the great lattice plotting packages which do now
work in the notebook).
