Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use RStudio to create and develop 3D maps for ground-mounted solar arrays to better account for the terrain where they will be placed. It is also used for statistical analysis within the company to determine where the best placement for the solar arrays will be within the topography.

Pros and Cons

Troubleshooting of Code.
Color Coding of different elements of code.
Adding new packages.
Infinitely customizable.

Better Resource Analysis.
Better progress bars.
Debugging could use a little improvement.

Return on Investment

Quicker development of maps.
Easy Statistical analysis saving time and money.
Customer satisfaction.

Alternatives Considered

BlueSky ETO

Much better GUI and customizability than BlueSky. I am able to do a variety of tasks at a much quicker pace.

Likelihood to Recommend

RStudio is perfect for the initial writing and troubleshooting of your code, as well as running it, 3D modeling it, and debugging it. In all honesty, after using other R GUIs I have not found one that does everything as well as RStudio, and it is remarkably better than base R in terms of writing code and adding packages.

RStudio Is the Best R GUI for any price, let alone free!
