This is basically what I kinda like about STATA. It's a Data Science tool for researchers.

The thing is that all its menu commands are stored in history, in ".do" file that you can send to anyone to reproduce your steps.

You can also just use the CL "shortcut" to address these same commands. It's pretty nifty.

There is also a package for R called rcmdr that provides GUI for basic statistical analysis. All your actions, performed in GUI, are stored as an actual .R script. However, I don't personally use it so I can't elaborate more.
