That might be true of Linux distributions in general, but installing R
is *very* easy.  There are a couple of lines you can paste from the
README file to get the configure and make thing working.  Depending on
your machine, it might take some time to do all its stuff which is
extensive and thorough.

Installing ESS is only slightly different.  Simply extract the tar.gz
file, find the README file and adjust your .emacs file to let it know
where you've installed ESS.

Granted, it does take a bit to get used to the way Emacs does things,
but you need only about 1% of its capability and then it is extremely
easy to use.  Many questions asked on this list just don't arise.
