I am sorry but that needs a qualifier. Otherwise this statement somewhat implies that things do not work out of the box otherwise. Which is of course entirely false. We have been building R packages from compiled source for many years before the IDE made it easier by checking more settings. At the risk of sounding old(-school), I actually still think there is value in knowing why/where things fail. Which is typically path or registry settings on Windows. So I would prefer if we pointed to ways to diagnose this, rather than to blanked it away. That said, the IDE is a fine tool, and double-checks and sets many things. I used it myself the last time I tried to build something on Windows. But please let's not forget the root cause of things which are often faulty installations (which happen on Windows).
