Agreed, and thanks for the references to R-gui projects.

One other project to throw in (declaration of "interest": I'm the
author) is gretl (gretl.sourceforge.net).  It's a combined
gui/scripting statistical package, which will import gnumeric data and
also export data in R-readable format, besides doing its own thing,
which is mostly econometric analysis.  GPL of course.
