Hello Christofer! For text-editing the R.app GUI has always been fabulous. An old mainstay on the Mac (after Apple's TextEdit) has been TextWrangler, and its big-brother, BBEdit. For development RStudio is quite nice, and--based partly on RStudio's offering of a Vim-compatibility mode--Vim has become a recent interest, although it has a steep learning curve. Of course, Vim itself is already available at the Terminal command line, but more Mac-like version named MacVim is available at:
https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/releases Further instructions on using Vim with R are available here: http://manuals.bioinformatics.ucr.edu/home/programming-in-r/vim-r BTW, it looks like you're using an older version of Mac OS X (Lion, version 10.7.5) released in 2012. So some of the text editors mentioned by others in this thread may not be their "latest and greatest." Also, while you can run R version 3.2.1 right now (current R version is 3.2.3), the R Mac page says "NOTE: the binary support for OS X before Mavericks (10.9) is being phased out, we do not expect further releases!" See: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Mac OS X is now at version 10.11.4 (El Capitan). Wikipedia says some Macs all the way back to 2007 can run El Capitan (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_El_Capitan), so there may be an upgrade path for you, if not all the way to El Capitan (10.11) then maybe up to Mavericks (10.9), to keep you from having to compile future R-versions from source. Finally, you should consider checking out the R-Sig-Mac mailing list for further Mac-specific info: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac HTH, Bill W.
