(Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported.
See http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/projects/Editors.html The page tells us that there is support for Crimson editor.
And for Linux, what do you recommend?
Tere are suggestions on that page that Uwe mentioned above for Linux! First choice would be (X)Emacs/ESS. Then there are also vim, kate, bluefish, ...
Thanks, Andy. Does somebody know how to install ess on xemacs?
It comes with ESS "built-in" if you get the full distribution. But this would be better asked on the ess-help list. best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back your mistakes" (AJR, 4Jan05). A.J. Rossini blindglobe at gmail.com
