Good grief. Adding a report function is not going to make R less flexible. Don't 
you want to use a tool that's relevant to the rest of the world? That world is 
much bigger then your world. This is ridiculous.

Looks like some people are complaining about me criticizing R and the people who 
defend it. Good grief again.

Subject: Re: R reports

Just show us what is the kind of report you want to do, and you will perhaps 
get a solution to reproduce it. Then, if you don't like the way to do that, 
write your own code or don't use R, noone force you. The majority of R users 
are satisfied with the way to generate reports, because it is flexible. 
There is ABSOLUTELY *NO WARRANTY with R, this means also you have no 
warranty to find exactly what you want, and what you can find in SAS. Just 
deal with it.*
