I wouldn't classify someone who analyses their data with R as a
non-programmer.

Yes, I can see that. I can imagine that if shell/python/ruby code looks
alien then the examples using those languages are not very
inviting. Thanks for pointing that out. Tom Dye and Eric and I are
working on documentation, including a Worg page specifically for R with
org-babel. Currently it doesn't contain anything you don't know but
we'll let you know when the first version goes up on Worg.
