      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!

      2/ But, the jokes about people still using SAS/SPSS aren't exactly helpful motivations. People continue using software their comfortable with because they're comfortable with it! Learning something new can be daunting, especially if you're not made of discretionary time.

      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.)

          I'm normally a 🐍 evangelizers but had to do mid level stats in Python and ended in R-studio. I think I now understand what the Python lib is on about...Sometimes a lib is so heavily inspired by how [other tool] does it that it's easier to use the other thing.

          Honestly, I use things that are the best for what I need them for. There are things for which excel is a much easier and better tool to work with. R may be fast and have lots of affordances, but the learning curve is not worth it for some things.

          I prefer to use the learning time for R for things that only R can do, like webscrapping.
