Good and nice summary. Thanks for sharing. Re "SAS has a GUI". Sure. But you will never cross the street with that. It will be about five minutes after installation until you realize that you need to learn the SAS programming language, i.e. DATA step and PROCs. Most everything you can do in SAS you can do in Python - for free. With 20+ years of experience in all 3 of these unless your organization already has SAS licensed, no need to get one :) starting out use Python, most jobs are in that.

@luispotro SAS was invented in the late 1960ies, commercialized in the 1970ies. The world has moved on since, SAS has not. So yeah, it is pretty outdated. Ps. Recently I got lectured by a SAS rep on how modern SAS is these days. He stated that they now offer Python 'natively' and that SAS in his view had become really open source focussed. I looked into it. Turns out they have built a layer on top of their old tech which offers a Python binding. It's still the same old inside though. A little bit like putting an old car's engine into a Tesla and call that an electric car.
