Well, the integrated editor in the R.app allows exactly that (the others are 
usually trying to copy it) and supports R code, Rd files etc. It is the 
canonical way to work with R,  so it is beyond me why people would suggest 
millions of different external apps while R has all you need. I can understand 
if people used to those apps prefer them to R (e.g I sometimes use emacs 
instead because I'm used to it), but for a new user I would not require them to 
learn so many new tools.
