Have you seen: http://pyclewn.wiki.sourceforge.net/features+ In my view, R as a language is very good but the tools around it are not good. When a matlab person tries R, their first comments are always how poor the environment is. Sure, one can have a debugger (with a crappy GUI in TK), and there's some editor support, but it's kind of painful. Integreting an R debugger with something like pyclewn would be very good.
