Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

It's used by my small team. We do econometric analysis using R.
  • Notebooks, where you can run chunks and see the output
  • I can view data frames
  • Integration with git
  • Queries to external data warehouses (e.g., using RJDBC::dbGetQuery) are blocking things to the extent that Rstudio freezes and I need to force quit it to stop the query
  • I want to have tools to manage the variables by size
  • Sometimes I want to clean the memory and it would be nice if RStudio suggested an easy way to rank variables by size in the environment
I tried Stata because it's a standard tool for economists but it doesn't have the flexibility and breadth of R and RStudio. I didn't try other IDEs for R.

Yes

Yes

Did Posit live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Posit go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Posit again?

Yes

It works great for me. I heard that R ecosystem may be a bit behind Python ecosystem for machine learning but I personally don't feel restricted.
