In my experience, TINN-R does not work so well, and most new users are
recommended to try instead Notepad++ with the addon components
R2notepad++ or Rstudio.  I have MS Windows setup tips here

Until I see evidence otherwise, I'm concluding that TINN-R was the
best in 2008, but it is harder to configure now and there's no reason
to prefer it over Notepad++.  "Real Men"[tm] still use Emacs, but new
users may not have enough muscles :)
