Section on Statistical Computing P.M. Roundtable Discussion (Added Fee)

The survival analysis task view currently lists 220 active packages for survival analysis, that cover a wide range of analyses. Almost all depend on the base "survival" package which defines the Surv object and its methods (head, tail, print, summary, quantile, duplicated, etc); along with the standard Kaplan-Meier, Cox and accelerated failure time models, and a few others. But once we get beyond that, how do you choose? I goal for this roudtable is to exchange suggestions and ideas. (The moderator knows the survival package extremely well, the others not so much, so will not come armed with a "top 10" list.)
