What do you currently use for data analysis?

I’ve taken courses on statistical computing in R and statistical computing in SAS in my statistics degree. We were always told that SAS is the standard for anything health care, pharmaceutical, or where regulation and publication comes into play.

Anecdotally, my friends who did PhDs in biochem and immunology all used SAS for their data analysis.

Have I been misled or is this up to individual preference?
