If you look on the R site, under "Related project" in the left frame near the bottom, you will find a list of various attempts at GUIs. (It seems to be down right now, but usually it works.)
I've tried Rcmdr and Rweb. There are others in various states of development, some apparently not being developed. It is my impression from reading the mailing list that many of these are useful for what might be called canned analyses. That is, you want to make a data set available to lots of people (e.g., students, co-workers) who do not know much about R and do not want to learn, but they do want to do certain standard things like analysis of variance, and they want some flexibility in what variables they use, etc. etc. But I think the level of development is nowhere near what you would find in Splus or (what I used to use) Systat, where you could use the GUI for a lot (but not everything). FWIW, I find Rweb to be very useful. I use it with my students. You can execute actual R commands, or even a batch file of them, on an arbitrary data set (in the right format). It runs in any web browser. Although a Google search shows that a few others are using it, it is not being developed. The person who wrote it has not answered my email. (His web page says he travels a lot.) It is a bit limited because of its security features. Your sysadmin will like that, but others will want to disable them. I think Rcmdr has great potential too, but I gave up on it because its behavior is a bit dependent on the OS and monitor settings, so I felt I could not be as helpful to my students (being myself an oddball in both categories). BUT THIS IS OPEN SOURCE. If you like it and want to make it better, fix it and share what you do. I will do that with Rweb when I get some time. (Ha.)
