Sascha, I guess the software you wan't is RKWard:
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ I have tested a few R front-ends and to me this one seemed the most adequate. I suppose as an ex-matlab user my interface preferences are biased, but still RKWard has a good editor with syntax highlighting, code folding, auto-completion and function hinting, and since it also incorporates the R console into it's structure, anything you type in the console window will be highlighted and hinted (if a function) as well. And it's free. I've tried Emacs Speaks Statistics and found it just confusing, to say the least (by the way, I'm puzzled by why so many people adhere to this one. Maybe it's a matter of getting used to it...?). Tinn-R (up to the version I tested) didn't integrate well with R. WinEDT is good. Give it a try and tell us what you think.
