I wonder about the point of torturing a minimalist text editor with no graphics support (such as Vim into a comprehensive development and visualization enviromment, by invoking several plugins and some very specific workflows. Would it not make more sense to take the interface (modal editing, etc) and wrap it into module that can be easily embedded into several different IDEs, to handle text-specific tasks? That way,…
Embedded charts are not a use case for Vim. Some R charts are interactive too.
Vim mode is available on some R IDEs.

As much as I love Vim and R, I think the experience is pointless without embedded graphs. It would be perfect if it was possible to view a graph in a Vim split.

This article suggest a variety of plugins and then describes a fairly exotic workflow that's alien to my vim brain. I use vim because it's simple, powerful and available almost anywhere. By the time I've installed a bunch of non-standard plugins and learned a set of tool-specific commands, I'm no longer working with vim but some other IDE-type-thing that happens to run inside vim.

> Why Not RStudio? > Yes, I know RStudio has Vim keybindings, but it isn’t the real thing. At this point, I’m ruined by Vim. I say the next step is that we have NeoVim running inside of RStudio. I also think we will have that happening in VSCode a mind bending text editor inside of a text editor.
