I totally agree. Recent developments in SciViews (which will be publicly
released in May) focus on GUI extentions *for* Rgui, not *in replacement* of
it as it was the case for SciViews Insider. I have difficulties with
specific aspects like buffered output, whose state is hard to know from R
code... This would be a lot more easier if all Rgui extensions could be
accessed through R code. A dedicated package is an excellent idea.

OK, that said, I go back to my work, because I still have a lot to finish
for UseR! conference...
Best regards,
