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.
@edensaesthetic @Sylvhem it's pretty restrictive about the panes, for instance, and the code editor is not quite as powerful as other text-editing software (eg Emacs)
@gzt @Sylvhem That's totally fair. I find myself going into sublime a lot for bigger packages because the R editor doesn't work well enough.
Gonna try it out this week at work, thanks! :)
