    R is a programming language, even if somewhat specialized. Minitab is an application which makes statistical analysis easy. In R, you write code, in Minitab you click around and choose various graphs and stats to be calculated. Sure, Minitab does have some scripting capability, but so does Excel...

    Cost, functionality. There are an amazing amount of packages available to implement different analyses, the amount of support and documentation is incredible. Then the ability to create GUIs using Shiny is great for distribution of your work to colleagues and associates to use.

    RStudio is an integrated development environment for a programming language, not a statistical software package. Therefore, it is a poor replacement for Minitab and is only a feasible alternative for fluent programmers.

    For basic statistics like descriptive statistics, ANOVA, T-test, Linear Regression are also available. It is easier to use but the functionalities are limited for professional statistical analysis.

    I tried Minitab and Number Analytics. For beginners, it would be better to start with Number Analytics. It is much simpler to use and has less options to choose. The graphical interface is better as it has more color coded tables and interactive graphs.

    Beginners in statistical analysis would benefit the most from Number Analytics. Minitab requires some level of statistical knowledge like t-value, p-value, F-value to understand ANOVA, chi-square test. You have to select what kinds of statistical analysis is appropriate for a case. Number Analytics automatically applies the right statistical model for you so that beginners would be the right target. However advanced statistical analysis is limited at Number Analytics compared to Minitab.
