It's hard to compete with RStudio for best IDE for R. I stick with vim-R-plugin for most stuff but RStudio is so helpful for making presentations. But competition is good.

Excel add-on, on the other hand, seems very interesting. I lost lots of time in Excel before I decided to get rid of it instead in favour of R+SQLite. I wonder if it would be possible to make the add-on work under wine though.

Edit: just tried to get FasteR add-on under wine. Unfortunately, it requires .NET 4.5 with which I didn't have much success previously...

The latest RStudio preview release has Vim mode, if you're interested.

The Vim mode in RStudio is rather disappointing. Doesn't even have support for macros.

It does now, in RStudio's public preview release: http://blog.rstudio.org/2015/02/23/rstudio-0-99-preview-vim-...
