Don't get me wrong, I'm a frequent R user, and it is definitely useful for analysing at simulation results. My point was just that there is a lot of things outside of R's capabilities. Even for analysis there are areas where R is of no use, e.g. when plotting data from 3D turbulence simulations, like Q-criterion isosurfaces: https://www.nas.nasa.gov/SC12/assets/images/content/Chaderjian_N_Blachawk_1.jpg https://www.nas.nasa.gov/SC12/assets/images/content/Chaderji...
