Well, from your perspective, R is basically like SAS or Stata, just more flexible; maybe more challenging to master, but also quite a bit more fun. 

R is gaining quite some traction in the Data Science and Machine Learning areas, mainly due to visualization tools and data munging facilities, but also due to availability of a wide variety of modern statistical procedures. It has for quite some time been the weapon of choice when attacking methodology issues in Statistics at the research level.
