That's unfortunately correct. The three GUI's (out of the dozen listed at R-GUI FAQ) I have so far looked into, are all somewhat "officially" endorsed: (1) Sciview-R comes from the author/primary-maintainer of the R-GUI FAQ. (2) RGUI is bundled with R. (3) RgnomeGUI has been officially bundled with R in the past and only (recently?) splitted out as a separate contrib package. I have started in the order of perceived "authenticity" (which may obviously be misguided). The others of the dozen don't carry the same "authenticity". e.g. JGR seems a fine one, and so does some of the others. At the moment, I don't have a 4th candidate. We have gone through this point before - it appears that you don't need a GUI, I don't need it either, but somebody else may need one, and as such, in a supervisory/teaching role one tries to find a common denominator e.g. so students can exchange notes and tips, and so that novices can ask "stupid" questions and expect statistically significant number of sympathetic ears to offer helpful advices without the self-confessed experts coming down hard on them for being stupid.
