not at all!

How much is available depends on the platform,
but the first one that has been available for all platforms,
even before R existed, is  
     ESS  ( http://ess.r-project.org/ ),
an acronym for "Emacs Speaks Statistics".

But there are quite a few others (I do not really know from
personal experience), see, e.g.,
all the projects (listed on the left hand side) of
    http://www.r-project.org/GUI
