Dear Liviu, RStudio might be a fine program, but it does not feature syntax highlighting, which is the only thing I am missing from R Console (it only colors the commands typed). Moreover, the very idea of squeezing all R windows into one "window-desktop" would be counterproductive in my particular case.
