Lest I give the impression of only dislike -- the coxme package (major rewrite nearly done, I'm now testing) depends heavily on the bdsmatrix package which implements a very particular subset of sparse matrix methods. Coxme uses S3 classes, bdsmatrix use S4 classes, and I think I made the right decision in both cases. I'm glad people found the C++ reference enjoyable.
