I've used R quite extensively as well as the rpy interface. R is by far the best open-source statistics package out there, with an excellent supporting community and predictable six-month release cycles. If that could be plugged into SAGE, it would be an enormous boon to anyone wanting to do statistical numerics. In my limited experience with rpy itself, the interface is solid although occassionally flaky. The new version of R (2.5) will be coming out in a couple of weeks, so it may be worth revisiting the question then.
