Why is that a "hack"? I really must object.
Tcl/Tk is a GUI framework with a text editing widget which can be trivially used for this kind of purpose (the same is likely true for other GUI frameworks like GTk).

Rgui itself is not written in Tcl/Tk - so to require installing a whole new GUI framework for such a fundamental task as editing R code seems a somewhat over-the-top solution. Rather the strength of Tcl/Tk seems more for building your own customised GUIs. R for Gnome, on the other hand, is written in gtk, but I've never used this so I don't know about its editing capability.
