Hi Angel and * ! I also use kate and in my opinion it is very convenient. I don't know which features you don't like, but if you mean some syntax highlighting "features", you might try my R syntax highlighting (XML) file for kate. It is based on Egon Willighagen's one and contains a few bug fixes and several extensions. You can download it from my homepage (http://www.uni-kiel.de/agrarpol/ ahenningsen/, the link is at the bottom of the page). This new file is NOT thoroughly tested so far. After testing it for some time, I will send it to CRAN and to kate.kde.org as an update of Egon's file, since Egon stopped maintaining it.
