Rpad is REALLY cool

Rpad is an interactive, web-based analysis program. Rpad pages are interactive workbook-type sheets based on R, an open-source implementation of the S language. Rpad is an analysis package, a web-page designer, and a gui designer all wrapped in one. Rpad makes it easy to develop powerful data analysis applications that can be shared with others (most likely on an intranet). The user doesn’t have to install anything—everything’s done through a browser.

It uses DOJO!  By far the greatest usage of it that I’ve ever seen. This is a great application, I’m 100% sure playing and (possibly) expanding on this is going to fill up a huge chunk of my time in the short term…………

And also, check out Quantian - it is a live linux cd that includes Rpad as well as A LOT of other relevant analytic/stat/calc tools…..
