Publisher's Description
From R Core Team:
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.
R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, bioinformatics, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity.
One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.
R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs out of the box on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux). It also compiles and runs on Windows 9x/NT/2000 and MacOSX.

"Installer screws up the system"
Version: R for Mac OS X 1.9.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I strongly recommend against installing 1.9.1. The installer package seems to change the permissions on the /Applications folder (and probably on other folders as well), which means that a normal user (that does not happen to have user id 501) cannot open the Applications folder anymore.
Running Disk Utility ("repair permissions") helps in such a case -- provided you are able to run Disk Utility without accessing your Applications folder (which might be hard for the non-techie).
It's hard to understand from a naive point of view why an Aqua application needs to install a framework into the library folder. But if it does, it better not mess up my system.
The libxml package that is included does the same kind of BS, but this time with the less important /usr folder.

"Nice, but could use improvements."
Version: R for Mac OS X 1.8.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Nice job integrating R with a nice GUI. Was using Fink version previously.
I'd like to see a resizable command window (sliding partition maybe). A couple bugs I've noticed was a crash when I quit X11 and when installing Bioconductor, it seems confused about what version is the latest (currently 1.3).
