Graphics: I realize you were focusing on "language" but the graphical

exploration and summarization is done effectively.
Well, I'm focusing on the language features that make it easy or hard to
draw a standard sort of graph
(controlling details) or to design a new kind of graph. Base graphics,
grid + lattice, ggplot all have
strengths (and weaknesses) I'm thinking about.
Replying to Bert Gunter: Yes, I agree that the formula language for
lm/glm and friends,
plus extensions to other aspects (plots, tables, etc.) is another
important R feature of
the type I'm considering. I would put this in the top 5!
