> ... despite being a rather awful programming language (...) it offers such convenience to non-programmers

I've heard people say similar things about MATLAB - that it's a poorly designed language, but many that people (mostly non-CS folk) use it out of convenience.

Can someone with experience using R explain what makes it so appealing to non-programmers? It seems like these two factors, "poorly designed" and "easy to use", should be at odds with each other.
