Even though many (pretty much everybody?) in the field have moved on from SPSS... It's extra depressing if they still teach it.
That's so strange. I believe you, but I'm confused. Why haven't I met such people?

Maybe it just hasn't come up in conversation? Most of my department, including myself, use SPSS

Chris - I'm shocked!

One of my former PIs does all her analyses in SPSS syntax, so I learned to code in it early on. Also use Matlab and Python for analyses. Tried R over a decade ago and it didn't have some features I needed and never really went back since.
-
I can understand using python and Matlab. I used to use SPSS for some analyses after switching to R but now it takes too long so I never bother. I can get SPSS-like ANOVA output from the afex package of I need it.

Well, I don't talk to purely empirical people. So that's partially what this is about. Where do you make your figures? Does SPSS do things like hierarchical linear models?
-
Sure. They implement something like the the nlmr package and various other things. However, it is horrible to use and poorly documented in my experience.
-
No surprises.

Yes it's still sadly very widespread...

There are sub-area, demographic and other factors. However, SPSS is still very popular.
