[R] Positron as a tool

[Dénes Tóth]

Hi Avi,

I am not sure that the R-help mailing list is a suitable channel for 
advertising R-related tools... But given you mentioned Positron 
(https://github.com/posit-dev/positron), which is based on VSCode, it is 
worth calling out that a free, open-source, community-maintained, very 
feature rich R extension 
(https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/r) already exists in VS 
Code for years.

Regards,
Denes
