The current version of Systat is impressive.  Still only 'user-cordial'
to use Wilkenson's own phrase, but much improved over 2.x (up to 3.1 now).

I also use StatView and like its interface much better.  

Systat is a citable, professional tool.  Yes I've earned a few dollars 
reporting bugs (one stat, one trivial) in it, but I liked the rapid 
feedback Wilkenson gave.

For anova, there's some non-commercial stuff- GANOVA, from UCLA, comes to mind.
The MGLH program in systat is still limited by it's memory allocation to 
small designs when unequal-n repeated measures & such are set up.  Sigh- the
regression approximation used in GANOVA works much better in those cases.

good luck.
