Would Xcode be a > good editor to learn? Are there a lot people use it? Xcode is nice, but the R support is limited to some syntax highlighting (which was posted on this list some time ago). Personally I use either the integrated editor in the R GUI or Emacs (Carbon Emacs 22.0.50 to be more precise). Both have good R integration (i.e. not just syntax highlighting, but also auto- completion of functions, objects and argument lookup). The integrated R GUI editor is more suitable for beginners, Emacs is ... well, Emacs :) powerful if you know how to use it (and it's the only one with Rd mode AFAIK). I have also heard that SubEthaEdit is a really good editor with R syntax highlighting support, but never used it myself.
