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.
