BlueSky Statistics for R
[BlueSky Statistics is a] Fully featured Statistics application and development framework built on the open source R project
Basically it makes the first 80% of the stuff that you want to do with R very easy.
The very cool part is that you get the R output so it is another great way to learn R itself.

The World Programming System, also known as WPS, is a software product developed by a company called World Programming. WPS allows users to create, edit and run programs written in the language of SAS.
MATLAB and Octave
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language.
GNU Octave is a high-level programming language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a command-line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB.
R and S-PLUS
R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R is an implementation of the S programming language combined with lexical scoping semantics inspired by Scheme.
S is a statistical programming language developed primarily by John Chambers and (in earlier versions) Rick Becker and Allan Wilks of Bell Laboratories.
S-PLUS is a commercial implementation of the S programming language sold by TIBCO Software Inc.
