R v/s S-plus

No doubt there are many capabilities that S-PLUS has that R lacks. Given 
the considerable price difference (thousands of dollars versus free), the 
choice depends on how much you value the additional capabilities of S-PLUS, 
the technical support, and the scripts you've developed in S-PLUS. From my 
perspective, I had to make very few changes to my S-PLUS scripts for them 
to work in R (notably panel functions) and haven't suffered from the 
transition.

Hi all,

I have Splus and R both on my unix machine. I intend to keep only one of
them. R looks to be a better choice. But I want to confirm. Is there any
function or group of functions in Splus that are absent in R?
Thanks,
Saket.
