script editor

I have worked a lot with R on Linux (my old computer at work), FreeBSD  
(my current computer at work), windows (my laptop at home) and MacOSX  
(my wife's laptop). In all these platforms I've tried several editors:  
emacs, gvim, kate, crimson, tinn-R, nedit, jedit, and others. All of  
them are better or worse in particular points (gvim had the prettiest  
syntax highlighting for R), and surely have been improving with time.  
Still, the one that I found most convenient was emacs + ess,  
especially because I can work exactly the same way in all operating  
systems.

Quoting Jarrett Byrnes <jebyrnes at ucdavis.edu>:

So, so far it seems like we have lots of votes for Tinn-R, a few for
Emacs, and for those on linux, Rkward looks pretty rocking.

For those of us on OSX who are using the mac interface (I'm assuming
emacs won't pipe to it) are there other good editors out there beyond
the one that comes with R.app

Oh, and a quick note that I found buried in some documentation rather
than an intuitive place: The R.app editor does allow you to pipe
selected code to the console.  Highlight it, and hit apple-enter.

more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be
able to say what the experiment died of.
