Had the same problem in stats for engineering, which was required for my Bio degree. R. Everything in R. All we spoke was R. Professor could barely make an coherent sentence without writing a proof. His wife was an Ayn-Rand acolyte macroeconomics professor who wore those weird round-bottomed medical shoes. They made sense, but I can't express why in words. Regardless, I have all but completely forgotten how to use R. I definitely became less enamored/'scared'/mesmerized about stats and feel much better about criticizing their usage, including arguing with my current boss about why student's t is NOT going to be as sufficient as ANOVA.
