I can remember when SPSS had no GUI. It seemed much more responsive back then, running on a VAX.
If we can achieve bigger and better things by teaching a new generation of users how to use the command line again, maybe it's worth considering?
No, absolutely not. Totally unrealistic. Forget I mentioned it.
My favorite thing about R is that is has no GUI. To me it makes it more powerful.
- celer 14y agoThere is a difference between an optional GUI and a mandatory one. I don't see why an optional GUI would hurt R, but I have almost no experience in this area. Would you mind explaining?

- h84ru3a 14y agoI never said an optional GUI would hurt R. (I think optional GUI's are a smart idea.) I was referring to SAS and SPSS. They have mandatory GUI's.
