I've gotten a fair amount of 100 percents, and most recently a job, for which a lot of the credit goes to ggplot.

The funniest bit is that the non-technical think it's something extremely complicated when in reality, after somewhat of a learning curve, it's more intuitive than plotting in excel.

One of the main reasons I started with R all those years ago is because updating the monthly charts in excel was (manual | time-consuming | boring), but running printing a new batch of ggplots was a piece of cake. I literally arrived for the graphics and stayed for the rest of R.
