Personally, as a student and a self-taught novice in R, I believe that JGR and Rcmdr are individually (and combined) most helpful to beginners in grasping the basics of R, of course apart from the introductory web sites [4] and beginner-friendly documentation. There is also playwith [5] for graphics manipulation. I'd be keen to add Deducer on the list, when the project matures. Departing from the "doing statistics" objective, LyX [6] is most helpful in writing Sweave reports without the additional burden of (properly) learning LaTeX."
