R's built-in editor is not bad, but it tends to be slow, especially with large script files (and usually on older Macs). Some times ago, I have written instructions for my students how to set up a connection of external editors like TextWrangler or SubEthaEdit to R. See http://www.formatio-reticularis.de/r-mac-editor.html for details. J. W. D.

Hello, I have never used R before and I need to use it for a time series graduate course AND i have a mac. I know tinn-R is a great text editor for R that works on Windows but is there anything comparable to it for a Mac? I have read multiple threads and my current findings are that there is really nothing like tinn-R for a mac and that TextMate comes close (but unfortunately this costs), some have said that they like the internal editor as well. I would like to use a more "user-friendly" editor, if possible, and I've been searching for hours now trying to figure out what to download and start learning, until I stumbled upon this mailing list and was wondering if someone could guide me and tell me what would be the most feasible option for an editor and save me some time:)
