People who uses vi or vim may be interested in looking at the plugin
to Vim that I'm developing. The plugin works in Windows, Linux and OS
X:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628

It's main features are:

  * Syntax highlighting for R syntax, including:
      - Special characters in strings.
      - Functions of all installed packages (must be updated manually).
      - Special highlighting for R output (.Rout files).
  * Smart indentation for R syntax.
  * Integrated communication with R:
      - Start/Close R.
      - Send lines, selection, paragraphs, functions, blocks, entire file.
      - Send commands with the object under cursor as argument:
        help, args, plot, print, str, summary, example, names.
      - Send to R the Sweave and pdflatex commands.
      - Run R inside a Vim's buffer (with Conque Shell plugin;
        currently available only on Unix -- Linux or OS X).
  * Omni completion (auto-completion) for R objects
    (.GlobalEnv and installed packages. The list of installed
     packages must be updated manually.
  * Ability to see R's documentation in a Vim's buffer:
      - Automatic calculation of the best layout of the R
        documentation buffer (split the window either horizontally
        or vertically according to the available room).
      - Automatic formating of the text to fit the panel width.
      - Send code and commands to R (useful to run examples).
      - Jump to another R documentation.
      - Syntax highlighting of R documentation.
  * Object browser (.GlobalEnv and loaded packages; must be updated manually):
      - Send commands with object under cursor as argument.
      - Call R's help() with object under cursor as argument.
      - Syntax highlighting of the object browser.
  * Most of the plugin's behavior is customizable.
