R is interesting and powerful

Recently I'm participating a online course Data Analysis by Jeff Leek , which introduces some basic ideas of data analysis. But the best part of it is through this course I finally started to use R.
Sometime at work, I need to draw some graph, usually I will use excel for simple lines or bars, or pies. and use desmos to explore functions. I also used matlab to process data.
I hear about R along ago, but there no motivation to just learn a new thing. until recently, the data analysis course lead me to explore R. It's grammar is like javascript which makes it more easier for me.
I think the reason I like to use R is totally because of RStudio which makes it a rival of matlab.
