I actually use Emacs to author R Markdown and the exporting works pretty flawlessly.

Before anyone asks, I use Org Mode. I just don't feel like pushing that format on my co-workers. If it's for me only, I use Org. If it's for a collaboration or export into a report, it goes into an R Markdown file.

Curious: how does Org-Mode compare with RMarkdown's use case? I'm only tangentially familiar with both. I've had the hardest time getting into Emacs (Doom-Emacs), and while Org-Mode seems great, the benefits seem to come entirely from Emacs, not the syntax.

I used markdown + pandoc to write my PhD thesis, but was forced to resort to latex for any formatting that was even slightly complicated (ie, multifigure plots, tables, etc).
