I was just reading on the Columbia Stats Blog about a statistical program called J, which is related to R. I have heard that R is good for graphing, but it appears that J is quite good too. R is still on my to-do list, and now J is too!

I have used R a bit which is related to S (technically it is a "gnu dialect of it" whatever that means). S Plus is a commercial version of S. S & R are free. It is a powerful but not particularly friendly programming environment so significant set-up costs. A lot of academic statisticians use it and there is a large community of (rather nerdy) users. I'm not sure I would need to go beyond Stata sufficiently often to learn this.
