[R] Who uses R?

[Vladimir Eremeev]

You could provide examples of errors, which Excel gives in computations, in
comparison to R.
Excel could not calculate inverse matrix for my task, so I was to find
something better, and I've found R (it was version 1.2, as far as I
remember).

My another problem was scripting (R is more convenient, but harder to
learn).

You can also notice the publication quality graphics.
