Hi all,

I have been using R on Windows for a long time, but now I am ready to move to Mac OS X, but I was just wondering if R works better on Mac than on Windows. This is because I had some memory size issues in the past.

64bit R (from http://r.research.att.com/) works great on 64 bit macs w/ OS X ... my R sessions have chewed up all of the 8gb of ram on my cpu that were available if need be (and choked the rest of my system).

Another question is if some of you know an R editor for Mac (just like Tinn-R).

I'm not sure that there's a consensus. Here's a very recent thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general/161063/focus=161335

All the usual players:

 * Emacs w/ ESS
 * JGR
 * Eclipse + StatET plugin
* I understand people are excited about an R plugin for jEdit that this guy is working on: http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/

I use TextMate .. there's an R.bundle for it which I don't really use aside from its syntax highlighting, though it does more (like sending commands to (some) R process). Works great w/ LaTeX+Sweave, too. It seems that's all I really need as I spend most of my time in the terminal then sourcing some file that has the functions I'm trying to refine anyway ...
