1/ SAS/SPSS jokes make me uncomfortable. If you're still using either, yes — you absolutely should check out R. The productivity gains could be big; the gain in affordances definitely will be. A richer programming environment lets you think more thoughts...and then test them!

3/ Having people associated with that new space make fun of your current one doesn't exactly make the transition seem easier. Invite people to play!

(I also say this as someone who doesn't particularly like R. Give me that snek language with meaningful whitespace! But, if you're an SPSS/SAS user, R is probably a better fit to your work.)

And frankly, to us non-coders, that learning curve is STEEP. I've tried a couple of basic online courses and 1) very little of it sticks for long and 2) I've never gotten to the point where they explained how to analyze my data! I have a 3 day course coming up, so maybe then?

Maybe it’s better, from a motivation viewpoint, to start with an example of what it is you wanna do? See if you understand what is going on, then try and pick a course that focuses on the things you need?
