Of course ESRI is trying to cover a wider field, as it has always done.
Quite a few versions ago they started with a geostatistical analyst,
which is used by many, but hasn't led to a decrease of interest in using
R for geostatistical purposes, is my impression. It has some very nice
features, misses many others, and is not extendible.

Hi.
What do you think about ArcGIS 8.3's new statistical
functions(Calculation of spatial or network, GWR,
Global/Local Moran, Gi etc.) in its Spatial Analyst
Extension described in
http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/pdf/Whats_New_In_ArcGIS_93.pdf?
Current R's spdep's and spgwr's and others' end users
will loose interests of them and go to use ESRI's apart
from R's?
And will decrease activities of developments of
(geo)spatial data analysis tools in R?
Regards.
