Dear Christofer Bogaso,
Re:

Indeed, as Roy Mendelssohn wrote, the editor built into "R.app", the GUI
program which is part of the standard R for OS X, has a beautiful editor, complete with
syntax colouring and bracket balancing. And one can run only one or a few lines from a
script at wish.
I couldn't wish myself more.
R.app looks nicer than RStudio (no tiling), but it is missing a lot of
functionality.
- the debugger
- the integration with other tools provided by RStudio, like Shiny,
RMarkdown, htmlwidgets, package building tools, etc.
- the integration with source code management.
- session management (i.e. it's easier to shut down and restart R,
which you frequently need to do when developing and testing packages)
- syntax checking hints in the editor (not just for R, for some other
languages too).
I think Emacs + ESS matches (exceeds if you count non-R stuff) RStudio
in functionality, but it is much harder to learn.
