Felix, I suggest you consider using an IDE such as RStudio as you
develop and run R code. An integrated development environment will
allow you to concentrate on learning R rather on the mechanics of
running R in a non-standard environment.

I disagree. Or rather, I would say that this is a matter of personal taste. And personally I find that RStudio and its like just present another "learning curve" to climb. I would much rather just write R code and get on with it.

I have never liked GUIs:

GUIs normally make it simple to accomplish simple actions and
impossible to accomplish complex actions.

But as I say it's a matter of taste and inclination. It is likely that Felix is among the overwhelming majority of users who prefer GUIs.
