Subject: [BioC] R IDE editor


I am trying to develop a package with lots of scripts in it but find myself 
have many windows of source scripts (each for a function) open in R GUI. I 
am trying an IDE called R Studio. It has great potential but currently the 
syntax colouring is very poor (black, blue, or green, that's it ...) and the 
tabs are not movable etc.
---------------------
Not that it's necessarily what you mean, but translating your literal 
complaint about syntax highlighting, you might not realize that:  Tools | 
Options | Appearance lets you choose from several syntax highlighting 
options in RStudio.   Agree that it would be nice to drag the order of the 
tabs around, but a workaround is to close tabs and open them in an 
appropriate order.  I personally like the (installation ease)/functionality 
ratio of RStudio.

RStudio is still very young, and the developers are very responsive to 
feedback and suggestions.
