Description

An area where R has a clear edge is in the availability of point-and-click Graphical User Interfaces. I prefer to code, but I'm generally part of a research team where at least half the members prefer to use menus & dialog boxes. I like that I can put my R code behind their dialogs, or take the code their GUI writes and modify it. For my comparison of the GUI options for R, see http://r4stats.com/articles/software-reviews/r-gui-comparison/. I'm unaware of any GUIs for Python yet, but if you know of any, please let me know.
