On thing to keep an eye on as an R gui is Texmacs
(www.texmacs.org). It is a very good typesetting
program, but it is designed to have connections to
math programs like maxima or octave and now R. 

Right now, they mainly work in a terminal mode. The
advantage is that you can display graph results in
line with the output. See the following link for an
example:

Which was buried in this email:

Eventually, they plan to also have workbook and
spreadsheet type interfaces. See:
