To clarify:  If you use RStudio and do not install any of the RStudio
packages, R in RStudio is the same R as if you were running it from the
command line.  I would think that many users find command completion,
access to help files, project management Etc. useful. Nobody is asking
anyone to install the RStudio packages.  I do sometimes but not always and
have found them useful. Jeff is 100% correct.
