#2Just noticed that this was posted by my old (half) boss!
Finally! This is very encouraging, that such an excellent free software package is in such high demand. From what I've used it for, it worked very well. It's great for quickly creating nice-looking graphs and plots.

#31. This is a good place for use of log or semi-log plots.
2. How do the authors unambiguously search for 'R'? Monocharacter language names are difficult search keys. (C, B, S, R)

There are some keywords that could help: R Lang and Rstats for instance

#5Mathematica isn't being used at all? That's surprising. Mathematica is wonderful. I wonder what's holding it back?
It doesn't seem to have a package manager. Could it be that simple?

Yes, it's extremely easy to link to packages in R, and even to include C++ programs to make your R package run faster. Mathematica, on the other hand, is a large proprietary package that involves a bit of effort to install and use. I'm not sure about what statistical features it has, but perhaps they're not as developed as R's.

1. There is a log plot at the end of the article
2. The author posted the exact search terms used for all languages in an earlier post [0]

#9no mention of Incanter . . . is it really that niche?

I'm not sure if Mathematica is on the radar if you are looking for "just" a stats package, it can do way more.
I have no idea how it compares price-wise to SAS?
