I would love to learn how to use R…
@Sylvhem Yesyesyes! I work primarily in R and I heavily encourage this :)

Is your best introduction - Hadley created a bunch of packages that make getting past the initial difficulty spike in R a lot easier.
RStudio is the only IDE you'll ever need, the rest are garbage. If you need any advice when you get started I'm pretty open to messages about it too :)
@edensaesthetic @Sylvhem second this recommendation, though if you're on emacs, ESS is pretty good. RStudio has its issues.
