There's a powerpoint presentation at
http://www.bioconductor.org/workshops/Heidelberg02/r-intro.ppt that
does a good job explaining R's features. Basically, I find the
language itself more full-featured than Matlab, closer to functional
programming, with lots of built-in data types that seem to mesh well
for numerical work, and a nice infrastructure or automagically
downloading software from the central R repository.

Cheers,
