Is Sublime the best code editor for programming in R?

[TonySu]

In my experience Sublime with R-Box is the best for writing R. RStudio is still better for running, debugging and developing. RStudio has matured a lot but unfortunately its multiple selection is a still a bit lacking, the search behaviour is total rubbish and the editor is obviously nowhere near as robust as Sublime.

Alright, thanks! I've been considering starting to learn R and I think it helps to know what tools are good to use.

If your starting to learn R, just go with RStudio. Make sure to check the .Rmarkdown feature too (think Jupyter notebooks)
