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!

Sometimes R is actually allowed but historic code in SAS/SPSS is not migrated, so you need to keep people relying on it. Especially when pipelining infrastructure is primitive.

Sure sometimes. But when an org only funds SAS/SPSS and legacy code is the wave, you won't touch R if you aren't in an IT/Explicit programming role.
