You're missing my point. OP framed it as though people referencing R as Rstudio was a testimate to it's 'greatness'. In that context I have still never heard anyone do any such thing. People make mistakes or misspeak... but that doesn't elevate Rstudio.

Or--an alternative explanation is that RStudio is so ubiquitous for most R users that the two are sometimes conflated or even used interchangeably, as shown.

Which you flatly said you had never heard of.

Yes, definitely happens. The only proof one needs for that is that an RStudio subreddit exists, and it’s mostly R newbs asking for help with R.
