R is definitely the future (for those who can learn with English).

I had witnessed one of the founders of SAS moved to R in 2003 when I was a graduate student.

Now I am watching that the founder of SPSS moved to R and founded a new company based on R. (take a look of the last page of the pdf and see the intro of the author and the company:

Here is the slide that may also interest you:

Using R in academics can become a common language in the coming years. I am glad that I am on this exciting track and believe that you will feel the same.
I am also going to share these progresses with my students in the data analysis course using R next semester.
