Root for non-particle physics use

Hello,
	I have a question for other non-particle/nuclear folks on using
ROOT:  I am in atomic physics and 
I am considering starting to do all my data analysis with ROOT, but I will
also have to convince the other members of my group that this is a good
idea; we are mostly still dependent on proprietary (and clumsy and slow) 
GUI-based programs for analysis, but we are starting to generate 100's of 
MB of data from imaging, etc. each night that have to be sifted through.
The plus I see with Root is that I may be able to work primarily in Linux
(my preferred platform) but compile and run ROOT applications on our NT
computer that does the data acquisition, so we can essentially analyze
the data as it comes into the computer.   
	If anyone else who has gone through this kind of change already
could relate their experience, please let me know.  Thanks!
