It has very strong community support, and nearly every statistical analysis or graphic is supported, including many which are not available with comercial software such as SAS or SPSS.  It is also the primary tool for analysis of genomic (e.g. gene sequencing, gene expression, gene association) analysis via the Bioconductor project. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: R does not include a GUI front-end. While several are available, the previous KDE front-end (RKWard) does not seem to be viable (and I have not seen it anywhere in KDE 4). Cantor is promoted as the replacement for RKWard and the support of R featured in press releases, etc. Combined w/ adding SAGE support, this would make Cantor, and OpenSUSE, and ideal platform for mathmatics, statistics and informatics. + Discussion: + #1: Ricardo Gabriel Berlasso (rgbsuse) (2010-03-01 18:14:07) + See this: https://features.opensuse.org/309007 + Cantor is available with kde 4.4, though. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309108
