What are your thoughts on R/Scilab?

[Process Control]

Hi,

I would like to know your thoughts on scilab and R if you have used both.

Just your thoughts and insights.

I am going to start my PhD program in operations research very soon. Unlike
my masters studies, I want this time to completely rely on open source tools
under linux. I like the concepts of scilab and R, along with basic C/C++ for
speeding loops. I do have little experience with both packages, but have
never used them for serious work such as a PhD thesis.

regards
