The great beauty of R is that you can modify it to do all sorts of things, and you have a lot of prepackaged stuff that’s already available, so you’re standing on the shoulders of giants.

R has really become the second language for people coming out of grad school now, and there’s an amazing amount of code being written for it, and you can look on the SAS message boards and see there is a proportional downturn in traffic.
