SAS may not be too user-friendly when compared to R, S+, and Matlab (I have
used none of these.) but it is quite user-friendly when compared to C,
FORTRAN, and Java.  I guess "user-friendly" is a relative term and it all
depends on your relatives.



Agreed!  SAS is far friendlier than C, etc. and much faster than the other packages I've used.  I'm not aware of anything else that would be as good for what I do (maybe SPSS, but I've never used it).
