Cool stuff. But it seems lacking manual to run it.
I would like to see manuals about how to build it, run it at command line and etc.
Better docs can really add a lot attractions.
Anyway, thank you for providing such as beautiful tool. It has been years that R under linux has no such a good IDE.
RStudio,a new IDE for R

#22Looks good, but it's crashing on my Mac OS X (Snow Leopard). Any idea how I can debug/fix this issue?
We're on this over at support.rstudio.org:

#23Wow... who knew that JJ Allaire, maker of (among other things) the ColdFusion web development system, also liked playing with R? http://www.rstudio.org/docs/about

#24The UI pretty similar to RKWard ( http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ ), which is according to me the best IDE, especially for Linux users. P.S. Someone should make a comparison between these two IDEs.
In my experience, RKWard frequently crashes when loaded with modest datasets (1700 data points or so for me). I wonder if RStudio has the same memory problems. If not, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I don't have any problems, but I use it mostly as a code editor, I don't use the built in table/data editor.

#25AGPL license, interesting. I suppose the plan is to monetize with a hosting/SaaS service? Edit: Found the answer on their blog: > RStudio is also a company, and we plan to sell services (support, training, consulting, hosting) related to the open-source software we distribute.
I'd be curious to hear their calculus for why they thought this services route would be more lucrative than selling the product and services. It seems like the type of product that people who would balk at purchasing it would be the same type to balkat most types of services listed (except maybe hosting).
For us, it was never about which approach was more lucrative. We want RStudio to be the de facto IDE for R. How could it be anything but open source?

#26This looks great. Can't wait to dig into it some more.
Also excited about the timing... next week I'm starting a new position at a research co where most of my colleagues work in SAS (vs. my preference for R).
This may be just the thing to help win some converts :)

Yes, but there are multiple open source licenses, including, but not limited to, GLP (which is used by R), AGPL, LGPL and BSD.

#28This is absolutely gorgeous. The only thing the standard RGui has on it is basic emacs/bash-ish keybindings (C-e, C-a, etc.) for navigation.

#29RStudio's binary is named 'rdesktop'. Oops! Although it's not in the default PATH, so it could be worse :)
It's strange and awesome how the linux world always works out these collisions even though there's no governing body or group.

#30Very slick UI. How is this done? Is the main UI HTML/Javscript or QT? I guess it's good that I can't immediately tell.
The comments on here and the screenshots made me install it, although I don't have any interest in R.
Slick indeed and fast as well, kind of screams for a dedicated project/repo for the UI components, as a starting point for other IDEs.
