R - loving it

I'm still impressed by R - I'm finding it delightfully powerful. Still trying to figure out what to do with my PhD data, but I'm finding it incredible useful looking at work data to uncover patterns. And the speed with which you can tease pattens out of data means that I can do things like sit down with staff and explore a data set to start to work out why a piece of software is playing up - or at least show patterns in the data which will lead good developers to understand how a piece of code is misbehaving. I'm now annoyed that I hadn't discovered this earlier :)
