Sage and Marc, thank you for your helpful replies.
Since RLink enables R calls from Mathematica, I wonder if it would make
the Mathematica "Front End" useful for organizing R work even if no
Mathematica functions are needed. It would be nice R had something like
the "Front End," a GUI that enables Mathematica users to easily keep
commands, output, and plots in the same file.
I would think that's something for Wolfram Research to develop, unless
you just meant a front end in the same style as Mathematica. If the
latter, we've made efforts to allow contributed front ends to work with
R, so go for it. You can start from scratch, or from any of the
existing open source front ends.
