The ability to script the R stuff with pipes and whatnot is very welcome to me. I tried using R as a part of a system of normalizing package installs across environments. It was sort of kludgey but ultimately worked okay. Setting up the environment as the first part of any script you push into R is necessary, and that makes sense. Python and Java seem to have more support for this kind of thing (environment swapping) on the command line, or at least perhaps I wasn't looking the right places perhaps for R. It has been a year since I've messed with this though.
