Hi Jason,
I myself don't use a Linux platform, but I have friends who do. They
say that ESS/Emacs is a bit hard to use at first, but once you get the
hang of it, it's pretty efficient. It has a lot of useful shortcut
commands that actually make coding pretty easy once you get used to
it. So, maybe it's worth a shot! The other editor that I've heard
mentioned is called eclipse, but I don't know anyone who uses it on a
regular basis.
In case it's helpful, I found this thread online of people discussing
various Linux R text editors

Hope that helps--

I've been using Rcmdr to edit and run R code and
gedit (with a LaTeX
plugin) to edit and produce LaTeX pdfs. gedit seems fine, but I find
Rcmdr to be a bit clunky. I wish I could run scripts more easily;
something like what the TFs use would be nice.
I'm wondering if anybody else is using a flavor of Linux and has
suggestions for programs to use. If anybody has used ESS for emacs, I'd
be interested to know if you find that useful too.
Thanks,
Jason
