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!

(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.)

The problem for most are orgs that are SAS/SPSS only and R is not allowed period.

I would not do well in that environment.

STATA, however, is fair game—precisely because it's not just punching down. After all, both R and STATA are equally inferior to Julia.
