R studio is already a very mature IDE platform for R programming. What's more can you offer than R studio?

They can fold it into VS so that RStudio can be abandoned, and the premier development platform for R can be locked behind the MS paywall.

That's my concern as R studio is open source; VS is not! But anyway, I should applaud for this move of MS. It's a very smart move strategically. R usage is climbing the chart...

R-Studio is a wonderful IDE - kudos to their team. also, if we do this, it'll be free+oss like PTVS. VS itself isnt oss, but at least the pro/community edition is free now.
