One nice feature of the R GUI integrated editor is the ability to run an R command from within the editor. It also looks and feels like the App itself, which is nice.
I have found that Emacs does a better job with auto-indentation, and have also made use of Emac's backup automation features. Emacs can probably do the "run a command from the editor trick" (it unclogged my toilet the other day); I just haven't figured out how to make it happen yet.
