Let me recommend you one of the oldest integrated development environments and graphical user interfaces for R, which is #RKWard @rkward . It is in existence since 2002, has many features and I happen to like it a lot. It's 100% open source, extendable ... you name it. In 2012 we even underwent peer review. Admittedly, this is quite some time ago, but in the meantime support for Markdown, Quarto and other technologies was integrated.

@ruedin
What is your take on setdw()? Usually it's not recommended to use it because it can cause issues in the long run. In our #RKWard we have a button which the user just pushes and he will immediately change to the working directory. Methinks for RStudio/Posit, it should be quite similar. (I know, this video is about plain #rstats, thus no IDE)

Did you know that #RKWard can be extended by plugins?

https://rkward.kde.org/doc/rkwardplugins/

For example, you can use this to create custom GUIs for repetitive tasks.

For example those here are available:

They can be easily installed as described in the README

Introduction to Writing Plugins for RKWard

This is a guide to writing plugins for RKWard.

@djnavarro
I can promise that we at #RKWard have no AI plans. 😎

The latest RKWard release 0.8.2 brings improved package installation (now defaulting to pkgType="both" on Windows/Mac), smoother code completion (including filename completion inside quotes), and a more stable UI. Enjoy UTF-8 support on Windows, enhanced R Console preview mode with plots, and new Quick Code Navigation features.

https://rkward.kde.org/

Several bugs have been fixed, and plugins now support more readable GUI logic.

Thomas is preparing the next release of #RKWard

The 1st new feature is "(Quick) Code Navigation" (You will love it). This allows to navigate, select, and run code based on the parsed structure, rather than just line by line.

The 2nd is the "R Console" preview mode (again, in script windows), now also includes further options, and, importantly, graphs. This even allows tracking the evolution of a plot statement by statement.

@EJWagenmakers Although I do not use #JASP, but #RKWard, I recommend it to the bachelor and master students I teach in #biotechnology and #forensics. This is a great resource.

Updated at haikuports, R lang bumped to 4.5.1, RKWard 0.7.5 has been rebuild with backported patches for R 4.5*

Thanks @devSJR for the notice!

#HaikuOS #haikuports #R #RKWard #rstats #KDE #Qt

Local build with Qt 6.10.0-beta2 (experimental build).

@devSJR Thanks on the pointer! Did some backporting with those upstream patches. I still need to finetune the local patchset, but launch is fine and on launch packages install worked out fine too (with R 4.5.1) :)

#HaikuOS #haikuports #rkward #rstats

EDIT: builds are running for R 4.5.1 and after that a rebuild for RKWard 0.7.5, will post a new screenshot when things have been build and are available for the public. :)

From our perspective that QtWebEngine is indeed a pain point for Qt 6.x, and unfortunately, there's no alternative at the moment. We'd love to replace or make it optional if possible. We do not see a solution to this.

For working with R 4.5, we suggest trying the kf5-branch from Git. However, that branch will also become outdated over time.

Thanks for your efforts in keeping things updated on Haiku! πŸ™
