Also, Aquamacs comes with ESS built-in. Just open a .R file, click the R icon and you're going. Aquamacs works pretty nicely for other purposes too (TeX, notably). Only annoyance compared to Linux is that the meta key can't be put in the same place or anywhere near it (on a Danish keyboard), but that's more a Mac issue than an Emacs one. > Vincent Goulet has made it easy to install for OSX with a binary image.
