RStudio: An Open Source and Cross-Platform IDE for R
RStudio a is free and open source IDE for R programmers. It's available for Linux, OSX and Windows - and you can run it from the Web. It's built with HTML and JavaScript and looks pretty slick. You can find it on Github here.
According to the RStudio blog, the team plans to monetize the product by selling services such as support, training, consulting and hosting.
