1. Buildproblem. Well-known and annoying. Build fails if debugging is on (which is the default) because Debugging.h breaks devQuartz.c compiles. If debugging is switched off on the command line or in the environment, then devQuartz.c builds, but aquaconsole.c does not compile, because it needs Debugging.h. I do not want to edit Apple system files, and not files in the R distribution either.
2. It would be useful if quartz devices could be opened from a menu.
3. Maybe a primary prompt in the input window would be useful.
4. Input and output windows cannot be resized independently. I would still vote for two separate input and output windows.
5. Interaction with Tcl/Tk is still problematic. For instance, Tcl/Tk takes over the menubar, and if you don't use tkStartGUI() the tk windows don't respond to mouse clicks. For instance, try using Rcmdr. Also if you use tkStartGUI(), and AquaTk has taken over, it creates windows (for instance for downloading CRAN packages) without scrollbars. This is important, because Tcl/Tk is still the only possible way of building GUI applications from RAqua.
6. If you want to download from CRAN you select packages in a window, and the download starts if you close the window. That's not intuitive, there should be a separate download or go button.
7. I thought I saw somewhere that RAqua can now open X11 devices. Mine can't.
8. Installation should be in ~/Applications, or in some other user defined position. My /Applications only has Apple software.
9. I see that there already is an "R Evaluate" service advertised.
Great. Doesn't work yet, though.
