We tend to attract the SAS crowd, I've been trying to get more R in the company but it's not as prevalent as I'd like. That said, this is a useful link, thanks!
In the stats world, SAS users are like Mac toting hipsters that have enough spare money to pay extra for a product that "just works." R users are more like the Linux types that grumble about how enterprise products are ruining the world and you can get the exact same capability from free software.

Anything seriously missing, or more bells and whistles?
