RStudio is a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment, optimized for R language, that embeds several tools in order to provide users the means to build scripts, create plots or compile codes, thus helping them to develop powerful applications.
The program has a decent interface, that responds fast to user commands, nicely crafted button icons and even offers users the possibility to choose their preferred skin theme.
The included features are designed to facilitate the users work, so they can complete their projects more efficiently. With RStudio, users are able to execute R code straight from the source editor and they can easily jump to function definitions any time they wish to.
What RStudio also offers, it's extensive package development tools, all along with lots of useful documentation and, not to forget, a built-in debugger for diagnosing and fixing the errors.
Furthermore, very useful functionalities, such as smart indentation, history recording, auto-code completion or syntax highlighting, can also be found in the program.
Some negative aspects regard the lack of an auto-update feature and the fact that it's not suited for beginners into programming.
All in all, RStudio is a good choice for developing software programs, that can satisfy the needs of a wide variety of people, from students to professionals, and which doesn't have any major issues.
