Hi The best is definitively (X)Emacs (my opinion).
For Windows have a look at (GNU Emacs): http://www.math.auc.dk/~dethlef/Tips/introduction.html And for XEmacs with Cygwin (XEmacs, Latex, ..., for Ess simple save (require 'ess-site) in your init.el): http://home.imf.au.dk/hellmund/indhold.html For native Xemacs for Windows: www.xemacs.org Xemacs is easy to install, use and configure (more easy than the GNU-Version). Under Linux both comes with the most distributions (I use both under SuSE 8.2). HTH Thomas -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Angel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 20.

I currently use kate on my linux as it has R highlighting and allows me to split the window into two: in one I edit the .R file and in the other I have a shell so I run R and can easily copy and paste the code. There are some features that I don't like and I am having a look on some alternatives. I've heard wonders of emacs with ess but I am a little bit frightened of the steep learning curve. What do the R experts use or would recommend using? Both linux and/or windows alternatives are welcomed. I guess it would much depend on the particular needs/preferences of each user but I would like to know which are the most commonly used editors.
