One more that I should have mentioned: StatET, a plug-in for the
Eclipse IDE.

A long time ago I used to know some of this stuff, but now I find
working in Windows quite difficult. I never knew it well enough to know
the advantages and disadvantages of the approach RGui uses versus the
one that dasher seems to be expecting.
On the hopeful side, accessibility has always had a relatively high
priority in the R Project, and there seems to be a recent push in that
direction. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for someone to bring up
this issue at useR! 2022 (https://user2022.r-project.org).
