[R] R v/s S-plus

[Andrew C. Ward]

No doubt there are many capabilities that S-PLUS has that R lacks. Given 
the considerable price difference (thousands of dollars versus free), the 
choice depends on how much you value the additional capabilities of S-PLUS, 
the technical support, and the scripts you've developed in S-PLUS. From my 
perspective, I had to make very few changes to my S-PLUS scripts for them 
to work in R (notably panel functions) and haven't suffered from the 
transition.
