You could also take TextMate into consideration.
There is version 1.5: stable and excellent. With very good support for R with 
an R bundle. 
Works nicely in Mountain Lion as long as you turn off smooth scrolling (via 
Terminal).
It also has a commandline tool to start the application.

There is now also an alpha version of TextMat 2. I don't use it yet.
