My lab group is in the market for a flexible statistics program
that does general linear models in a Mac-like way.  We're also
interested in parametric tests, general data analysis, and graphing.

I've seen Statview SuperANOVA and it looks good, but I was warned
that it crashes.  It's owner showed me impressive literature on
SAS's new program called JMP, and mentioned that the new Datadesk
version 3 now does GLM.

I'd like comments from anyone who has used JMP -- is it as incredible
as it sounds?
Does Datadesk 3 still have the same strange "desktop" constraints
that Datadesk Professional had (the program builds its own desktop,
forcing you to manipulate icons).  How was GLM implemented?
And what do people think about SuperANOVA?

Please reply to me.  I'll summarize if there's enough commentary.
