A comment on this common view..
I completely agree with Nick. I left other software packages to Stata
because
- Statistical biases exist on the one I used (missing values analysis,
clustering), users don't have all the statistical details
- Modelling & uptodate commands (with stata journal details) make me switch
- Facilities (Translating Menu to Command, Stata movies, Web trainings &
THIS MAILING LIST) have weaken a lot switching barriers
My Stata wishlist : surface graphing (have a look on R) and advanced design
for conjoint analysis (nested MNL, mixed MNL)

I am sure this is a common view. It doesn't in
fact need much emphasis to StataCorp. Stata's
developers love implementing new modelling
commands. What's more, they realise that
such commands are important for marketing.
Some key groups of researchers would be likely
to migrate to Stata if such-and-such
and this-or-that kind of modelling were implemented. And the
history is that once groups migrate,
they often stay with Stata.
