I disagree.  Or rather, I would say that this is a matter of personal 
taste.  And personally I find that RStudio and its like just present 
another "learning curve" to climb.  I would much rather just write R 
code and get on with it.

I have never liked GUIs:

But as I say it's a matter of taste and inclination.  It is likely that 
Felix is among the overwhelming majority of users who prefer GUIs.
