For teaching purposes (Windows computers) I do not even introduce the R
GUI, I only use R Studio. I like the compact the view of the editor,
command line window, variables and graphics. Additionally it is
available for all OS's (Mac, Linux, Windows).

But a real pain in the editor is its cleverness about opening and
closing brackets, apostrophs and double apostrophs. Very often I when
run the program block/line there are too much or too few brackets,
apostrophs or double apostrophs :(
