Great, finally a soulmate! :) More seriously, I think Geany is
under-appreciated and virtually unkonwn in the R community.

One important feature that teh Windows version of Geany lacks is the
integrated virtual terminal emulator. This is mainly because the VTE
port to Windows was never finalised (although the patch is well in
their bugtracker). One possibility is to use Geany in a VMware virtual
Linux machine on Windows.
