It is very easy to code and works very quick even if you have a dataset with a large amount of observations. You do not have to write a long code to conduct a statistical test.

STATA is the most widely used software application in my lab here at USD, it has particularly been very helpful in SEM models and creates easily comprehensible diagrams and is also very user-friendly. There are also lots of tutorials and sources that can be used as guides to help learn STATA better and these have been helpful in creating research designs as well and conducting complex analyses that would have otherwise been very hard for someone who had only used R and SPSS before.
