Instead, they built a whole new IDE from the ground up with those features.
They have developed many amazing features for an IDE that could have been grafted on to an existing IDE to enhance the R experience.
#Other ide for r software#
I do not understand the business model for the software decisions, of trying to make RStudio-the-IDE into a one-stop R monolith. This switching also leads to some frictions, but at least they are predictable ones that I understand pretty well, and thus easier to manage. IfI attempt to keep healthy boundaries around my RStudio usage and in particular try to avoid accidentally falling into the trap of expecting it to be a good tool for managing large amounts of code. In my practice, RStudio fills the role of graphing package with neat macros which presents as an editor.
#Other ide for r code#
If I attempt to work solely in RStudio, I find it intolerably annoying because just when something neat (say, the integrated plotting) has saved me some time, I then reach for a non-R-specific standard feature (multi-file search and replace, say) which every other code editor does well, and I am instantly vexed because it is broken in RStudio, or missing entirely. Overall I find RStudio helpful for generating graphs and reports and slides, but I edit non-trivial code in VS code, because that way I do not constantly need to break my flow to work around a missing RStudio affordance. It happens to include a passable text editor, and some genuinely neat features (Equation preview! Blog autogeneration! Data explorer! Interactive widgets! Deep integration of libraries! etc!) and some misfeatures (bizarre and idiosyncratic keyboard shortcuts, emoji support is glitchy, bad integration for non-R languages…). RStudio by RStudio is the most famed IDE for R. This will be slightly confusing in what follows, but I hope it is clear that I mean the IDE in particular. It will become clear that their eponymous flagship product, RStudio, is my least favourite amongst these.
Unfortunate terminology note:, the company behind the software, has done lots of amazing things, and produced some good software and great services that I am happy to use.
