Please be assured that you won't loose any features you're familiar with. Just 
the opposite is the case. We fixed several general issues regarding to the 
entire document handling, we're now using a very fast syntax highlighting 
approach (lexer) which make it easier to edit larger R scripts, we added a new 
line numbering approach with the feature to select lines if you click (or/and 
drag) into the gutter, improved the issue to use different encodings, we added 
a better code completion (rcompgen), function hints in the status bar now 
follows the cursor, etc., and in the near future we'll add more features to 
make it much easier to create/edit/... R code.

Kind regards,
