It would be great if it would allow R functions; it's a much better engine for stats than Sage.

  If you can use python libraries there are a few libraries which allow you to use R functions through python, so that may be an option. Edit: Here they are: http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2.html http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2.html http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy.html http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy.html

  Sage covers many things, including symbolic algebra. TMK R does not handle those well ...

    Absolutely true. But being able to invoke both would make the software incredibly powerful.

      You can invoke R from Sage. http://tutorial.sagenb.org/home/pub/4/ http://tutorial.sagenb.org/home/pub/4/

  For numeric computations on statistical data I would recommend to keep using R. R does not do symbolic algebra, which is what makes Mathematica so impressive.
