I'm in political science, and I'm pretty surprised how aware of open source tech some of my professors are, R especially. But I've even heard from a few of them a desire to pick up Python or C++ for other data work, and at least one of them knows emacs.
Proprietary software like STATA still gets used as much or more than R, but hopefully it continues to pick up steam. R Studio in particular is a pretty compelling environment.
