Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

Our entire team uses RStudio both for statistical analysis and application development purposes.
  • RStudio is probably one of the most underrated IDEs. The environment panel is probably the most useful one.
  • The help tab is also very useful, saves a lot of random Google search time.
  • It is also probably the only IDE I never had issues with while installing/upgrading.
  • The debugging feature is probably not the best designed one.
  • I would love to see a live shiny debugging feature in the future, maybe something similar to the environment panel for reactive values.
  • Big computational tasks are sometimes slower in RStudio.
  • No particular impact on the business
  • IBM Data Science Experience
RStudio is a much better environment for R than IBM Data Science Experience as it provides with a much wider variety of tools.
Rstudio is a very well designed IDE. Especially in cases where the user is a beginner and needs to have a very clear view of his/her variables, Rstudio is very useful.
