As a statistician I believe this article shows the strengths of R
- fast prototyping methods
- easily repeat research with scripts
- data visualization
- huge repository of add-on libraries from many areas of study
Sure R has it setbacks. I wouldn't rely on it for a production environment or a substitute for a higher level programming language. Yet if you want to study data and get results rather quick there is few that could compete in this space.
