My vote for R-Studio. Very elegant design and great functionality. However if 
coming from languages like Java and others then eclipse is better. R-Studio 
have dedicated section for Mac user which you will find useful.

One of the nice features of R-Studio is that it has a built in LaTeX support, including Sweave and knitr. The PDF viewer synchronizes with the source, which is extremely convenient. It is also cross-platform, so if you learn to use it and then switch OS's again, you don't need to go through this search again.

(But I have to admit that I don't use R-Studio all the time. I've used a Windows editor (Textpad) for so long that it's hard to break the habit. On a Mac I'll generally run it under Parallels, even when running R in MacOS. This is another approach to cross-platform development, albeit a pretty silly one.)

Hi everyone,

I've recently moved from using a windows machine to a Mac (some might call it 
an upgrade, others not…I'll let you be the judge).  Once I started using 
Notepad ++ on my windows machine, I really began to like it.  Unfortunately, 
I'm not sure what the free text editor options are for the Mac (Notepad ++ is 
windows only).  I've dabbled with Linux before and used Emacs/ESS there.  
However, I seem to remember fighting pretty hard to make that work and the OSX 
file structure isn't that intuitive to me yet.  (For example, where is my 
.emacs file?)

What text editors are best for the Mac, keeping in mind that I'm probably going 
to use them via the command line interface (e.g. X11 or Terminal).

Thanks!
-Steve
