I have been trying emacs with ess, Kate, plain gedit..nothing really
satisfied me..
but then I found a nice plugin for gedit: Rgedit !

it supports split screen with R terminal window (you can also personalize
colour if, like me, do like to
stick with old habits :) ), moreover gedit has a brackets completion and a
brackets highlight plugin which are very useful.

check it out here

<http://www.stattler.com/article/using-gedit-or-rgedit-r>simple "send code
to terminal" shortcuts (much simpler than emacs, in my opinion) and nice
interface..give it a try!
