This is more from the point of view of the beginner; something that I
wrote recently on r-sig-teaching:
"<skip> I will mention a recent discussion [1] on r-sig-gui that
would---I believe---also be interesting to this list. It is about
Deducer [2], a new R-GUI built on top of JGR [3], intended to be in
some respects similar to SPSS or Minitab.

Personally, as a student and a self-taught novice in R, I believe that
JGR and Rcmdr are individually (and combined) most helpful to
beginners in grasping the basics of R, of course apart from the
introductory web sites [4] and beginner-friendly documentation. There
is also playwith [5] for graphics manipulation. I'd be keen to add
Deducer on the list, when the project matures.
Departing from the "doing statistics" objective, LyX [6] is most
helpful in writing Sweave reports without the additional burden of
(properly) learning LaTeX."

Best regards,
Liviu
