Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Powerful statistical tools. Good quality customisable plots, all different types using all different data and models. Easy to import from csv and there's plenty of datasets around if you go looking. Easy to create and export graphs. Being able to quickly and easily visualise (and share) data is more useful than I could have imagined. All the "academic" data online is suddenly easy to use. I haven't even scratched the surface of community created packages, but they're easy to install, not always so easy to use.

Cons

  • You can get unhelpful syntax error messages. The basics work well but sometimes just changing something (eg colours) in specialised plots feels like a hard programming puzzle. It's mostly straight-forward like "plot(data)", but the commands are written in a programming language and get tricky depending on your needs.
