Emacs is quite nice, as it has a package for R integration called ESS (emacs speaks statistics). I do not use a GUI on Mac or Linux and just use emacs/ESS for running R as well as coding. IDE's such as Kdevelop, Eclipse, etc., have a lot of enterprise-level tools like automatic makefile generation, etc., but emacs works fine for me and what I do.
