R is more satisfying to figure out, but I can make a plot indistinguishable from R using Excel literally 10 times faster.

I want to anonymous, but I also want to post some of my published figures and have people guess whether it was R or Excel.

People get way too snobby about software, it’s just a tool to do a job. If you’re happy with SPSS use it, if you prefer R use it, love Excel? No problem. Use what works for you (and your collaborators).

I mean sure, but the reproducibility of Excel is lower unless you always document the version and which buttons you pressed. With code the commands are the figure so less work to makes reproducible by default.

Good point about reproduciblity. I very much support learning programming but I wonder if it's an issue though that might discourage people with non-technical backgrounds. Generally there might be less programming involved in social psy than neuroscience

Yes, undoubtedly.
