The reason I started this thread was not to express my unhappiness, but simply
asking why there are two R apps installed by the package. So that was just a
curiosity. Since I do use "rgl" a lot, which falls back to X11 on 64-bit rather
than native UI, I figured out (wrong) that this may be the reason. I work with
pretty heavy data, have 12GB RAM, so going 64-bit was natural choice for me,
but going trough X11 for OpenGL is not what I'd expect. That's why I am going
to make Cocoa wrapper for rgl that should handle that.
There is nowhere any complaint stashed in what I wrote about how R works or how
it looks like (the icon is IMHO nice), I was just asking for the REASON and
PURPOSE having two apps. It is just Simon's arguments do not convince me,
despite my regard for him. You can switch between arch via Finder, you get a
report about current arch during R startup. But you guys take what I wrote
(which is just an opinion) as accusations. As I said the only mistake was the
original subject that was suggesting some "incompleteness" based on false
assumption related to "rgl", and I am sorry about that.
Just like that.
Cheers,
