CRAN carries whatever users submit to it ... the fact that there is a
WinEdt configuration file on CRAN is not because it is "the officially
recommended editor" for R, but because Uwe Ligges submitted his code
to CRAN and actively maintains it.
 
So if you think ConTEXT is a nice and free editor for writing R code on
windows and have already written corresponding configuration maybe you
want to share it with the rest of us? 

I personally use Emacs on Linux ... but would have use for a free and
easy-to-use windows editor for teaching (emacs is free, but not easy
to use).


Best,
