One more advantage of TextMate is support for Sweave files. You can
have a Sweave file open, and the LaTeX parts of it are syntax colored
according to LaTeX and one can use all the facilities of the LaTeX
extension (bundle) in LaTeX (which probably has some things similar
to AucTeX, has a number of other features and perhaps misses some
features, I'm not too familiar with AucTeX to do a definitive
comparison), while on the other hand the R parts are colored
according to the R syntax and one can use all the goodies of the R
bundles that Hans-Jörg describes below.
It does have the disadvantage of not being free, but personally it's
the best $60 I've ever spent. There's a 30-day fully functional free
trial period.

Have a look at TextMate http://macromates.com/
There are three extensions (bundles) available dealing with R for
TextMate [up to now in the Review repository]:
[in very short terms]
1) R
- writing R scripts and executing it (plots are inside as pdfs
available)
- one can execute more than one R script
- fast syntax highlighting, snippets (macros) for fast writing etc.
- command completion
- GUI for inserting function parameters
- displaying the command signature
- tidy function
- drag'n'drop facilities (drag a csv to the window it inserts
read.csv('filename'))
....
2) R Console (R.app)
- to remote R.app via AppleScript but with all goodies of TextMate
....
3) R Console (Rdaemon) - an ESS-like extension
- R runs hidden inside of TextMate
- it combines a text editor and the R console in a sophisticated way
- easy to expandably
- many GUI-like elements (Graphics/Package Manager ...)
- only written in scripting languages
- crash safer - if R/TextMate/Mac crashes one has at least the
entire last session as text file to reconstruct
....
and many many many more
If you want to know more let it me know.

Dear R-list
I am (forced) to change from Linux to Mac and am now looking for
a new
editor for R. I would like one that features a split window
(console +
editor) as well as syntax highlighting. Can anyone help?
Especially the
split-window feature does not seem to be easily available in the
editors
desribed on the R-help site, except Emacs, which I am reluctant
to start
using.
