Absolutely, and don't forget tidyr! Its hard to overstate Mr Wickham's contribution to making R a very handy and useful tool. I am sure that a lot of folks would have tried R and then moved on to something else were it not for the "Hadley-verse".
It is the simple Functional language we want when working with data.
