I want to add my two cents of congratulation to the R core team.
I also want to encourage everyone who uses R to be an active, not a
passive user -- the fastest way R will get better is if the folks who use
it submit bug reports, suggestions, R code for their particular fields,
documentation, even patches and code fixes. R is big and complicated
enough now that we can't leave testing to the core team.
Of course, many "bugs" are misunderstandings about the way R
works--it's always worth reading the documentation, or asking around if
there are experts in your vicinity--but there are also lots of real bugs
out there waiting to be found and fixed. When you ask about something on
R-help, it also goes into the archives where it can be found in the future
by people with the same question.
The best "thank you" for R (OK, with the possible exception of
beer/pizza/money) is help with improving it.
