A second vote for Vim-R or Emacs+ess. There's a bit of a learning curve with
vim, but once you've used it for a bit it actually becomes a lot more
efficient for script development than R GUI on Windows, at least for me. You
can end up doing everything without switching back and forth between
windows, and run it all through a series of key bindings. Emacs has a little
less of a learning curve, but never felt as efficient as vim for me.
Your mileage my vary, of course.
