Dear Ohlbe!
Hhm, the only hurdle I see are the sometimes strange import routines. For R novices there's a nice GUI, the R Commander. Import from a text-file, the clipboard, an URL, SPSS, Minitab, Stata, Excel, Access, or dBase is just a few mouse-clicks away. You may perform fairly sophisticated statistics right there (definitely far beyond Excel's capabilities already), or simply type at the command line
That's all - not a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito, but just a tiny pin.
See here concerning validation.
❝ […] using […] R to calculate the mean of 6 values would be like using a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito, and would seriously reduce the number of possible users.
