What a long and complicating mail for the simple question: is there a
gui on Linux?

However besides Emacs/ESS there is rkward which is probably easier to
use for a closer to Windows gui feeling (it is much better of course).

Since you have not given specifics about your Linux: on Fedora as well
as on Ubuntu(s) it is in the standard repositories.

PS There is also JGR as a cross-platform Java Gui. However on Fedora it
is unusable since it consumes far to much CPU.
