[R-gui] R-SIG-GUI Digest, Vol 90, Issue 6

Sun May 22 14:34:13 CEST 2011

Gerrit,

OK, well I completely love the idea that the student version would be 
server-based, but RStudio seems less user-friendly to me than Deducer.  I 
don't see a data editor or dropdown menus.  Deducer feels a lot like SPSS to 
me (again, no offense intended).
