Just five years back, this question would've been sacrilege in the 'data analytics' community.
- jsgo 9y ago5 years ago, I worked at a company that did a lot of data analytics stuff (though I did not; I was responsible with some web applications). They swore by SAS. To read the comments here are pretty jarring, considering that previous history and how entrenched they seemingly were. I remember conversations with the SAS users and saying if I were to go in that arena, I'd most likely be a bigger fan of using R which seemed like sacrilege in the context of the conversation. Granted, I worked about 30 minutes from SAS's HQ in Cary, but still.
