Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

I am a big fan of jEdit (www.jedit.org). It is easy to customize text editor able to do syntax highlights of 100's of text file formats, including *.R and *.Rd files. I also can be modified by many user developed extension packages.
