I originally picked up R several years ago as a tool for making high
quality graphics. IMHO, R beats IDL hands down for ease and quality
of plots. And for statistics, well, that's what it is for. I've
never even considered using IDL for mixed-effect modeling. But I
still use IDL for many, many things. Computer languages are not quite
like marriage - I think it is acceptable to be in serious
relationships with more than one at a time. Of course juggling
multiple relationships is fraught with danger - witness my continual
print, x in R and print(x) in IDL...
