Define: "Data explorer." (How can we know what you mean?)

I would answer your question: Yes. R.

But see also ?str  ?summary

Look at the TkListView function in the TeachingDemos package.

In my Mac GUI there is a Workspace Browser but it's fairly limited in  
that it only lets you see the first level down for list objects. Most  
people use the str function for that purpose:

 > ddd <- list(a=list(b=list(c=list)))
 > str(ddd)
List of 1
  $ a:List of 1
   ..$ b:List of 1
   .. ..$ c:function (...)
