As someone who's taught with both, the discussion of R vs SPSS for teaching stats neglects two facts.
1) Learning SPSS is no picnic
2) SPSS obscures concepts and makes stats HARDER to learn

It's not just about coding You don't need to do fancy coding, or use markdown or tidyverse.
You can tweet a whole psych undergrad friendly exercise on t-tests.

muA<-50
muB<-55

n1 <-100
n2 <-100

sigma1<-20
sigma2<-20

A<-rnorm(100,muA,20)
B<-rnorm(100,muB,20)
hist(A)
hist(B)
t.test(A,B)
