Posit is so user-friendly and easily accessible and their product RStudio is just excellent. We can do anything like data pre-processing, analysis, model building and visualization with it literally.

I use Stata almost every day. The online resources and the help function provide details to any type of method I would ever consider running. It is a great tool for beginners and experts.
