I would like to add that I would have spent many more years doing my PhD if
it wasnt for R! all data management, statistics and graphics were conducted
using it. This was the direction my university and many more research
institutes appear to be heading.
It probably doesnt get said enough and I am sure I speak for all young
researchers I am very much in debt for all the kind souls who have helped me
and other newbies on this forum over the years,
Thanks very much R team.

Pardon my exuberance, but this is simply awesome. What a treat to find
on the front web page of the NY Times this morning under Technology. I
think the article is very well written by the author, and I think it
captures top highlights of why the software and community are so
special.
Continued high gratitude to all of R-core and the R community for its
unique accomplishments. Every bit of praise is well-earned and
deserved.
I have continuously claimed to colleagues (primarily pharma industry)
for the past 8 years or so that R is the most exciting going on in the
area of statistics.
Thanks,
Bill
Amen to that, and in addition, R is now the top tool for everyday
analysis, not just a research statistician's tool.
