Article Attacks R.... R-users fight back instantly!

Here is the link for the article: http://www.thejuliagroup.com/blog/?p=433

If you don't feel like reading it... here is just a quote that sums it up: “However, for me personally and for most users, both individual and organizational, the much greater cost of software is the time it takes to install it, maintain it, learn it and document it. On that, R is an epic fail.”


There are so many things wrong with this statement, that I immediately had to comment on her blog.  However, I was not the only one.  This article flew through the R-bloggers sphere http://www.r-bloggers.com within hours.  A R-blogger today posted an excellent blog about this event and the R-community.  It's worth a read!
