although I prefer myself (X)Emacs, I suggest to people Tinn-R, it is
GPLed, has syntax highlighting, and something I haven't seen with any
other editor before:
You write for example:
mydata <- read.table("xxxx.csv", header=TRUE, ....)
and while you are writing your code, a line pops up below the line you
are writing giving you the arguments and their default values for the
current function (I was impressed, I have to admit).

The homepage of this project is:

Best,
Roland
