I found something called JAGS, and I am still exploring it.  It
appears to be an open-source BUGS replacement, thought with
limitations.

I was asking what software people would recommend for the same
functionality, not a drop-in replacement.  I am just baffled by the
bewildering array of R packages, and would be so happy if somebody
told me what THEY use for Bayesian analysis, so I could read the docs
and get started.  MCMC? Boa? etc.  Suggestions on how experienced
users do bayesian analysis in R would be welcome.

Thanks,
