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!

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