How many people use Google to search? What about Yahoo? Which
is glossier?

I wouldn't quit using R (hah!), but I would be repelled by a glitzy website
that requires script or plugins or anything beyond a standard web
browser and an old computer to view. That said, there is an advantage
to having an attractive, easy-to-navigate site.
