I recommend Smultron a nice editor for R and other statistical apps.

PD. Please post your Mac question in R-SIG-MAC list.

I've been using ForgEdit. It is still in beta, but it works well. I
have a syntax highlighting file htat I can send you (and I need to
post on the gui/ide website).

I'd recommend using Emacs with ESS (see http://ess.r-project.org/).  The
advantage of this (beyond the seamless integration) is that its pretty
platform neutral, and what you learn on your new Mac system will be portable
(i.e. the same method of writing/interacting with your R script/session
whether your on Mac/M$-windows/*NIX variant).

I concur. Emacs is one of very few cross-platform editors with a  
special mode for R/S-Plus. If you want to give Emacs a try, I  
recommend Aquamacs (http://aquamacs.org) on OS X. It ships with the  
latest ESS and is better integrated to the OS than a regular Emacs.

In the future, post Mac related question to r-sig-mac, though.

I agree that emacs seems to the best editor (especially if one knows
it already).
But there is one _big_ drawback: you cannot plot (interactively) to a
quartz device which looks much nicer than the usual X11 (or any other)
device.
