Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

I use RStudio for research & teaching purposes (I'm a professor in a business school). I know 5-6 of my colleagues also use it. All of my courses are entirely focused on coding and I use RStudio all the time in class. Additionally, all of my research revolves around uses of R code, thus I spend 5-6h/day working with RStudio.
  • Amazing user interface
  • Great package development
  • Incredible simple to use
  • Joyful team & community
  • NLP, a package (wrapper) for major models (ex: GPT3), just as for Keras-Tensorflow
  • I could not have done half of what I do without RStudio (research & pedagogy).
  • It's so good that it's hard to code elsewhere now (ex: Jupyter Notebooks)
I have tried to work a bit with Jupyer notebooks and Spyder, but both are way less agreeable than RStudio.
Once you taste RStudio, you can't go back!
