The screenshot above shows some of the basic features of VS Code. Let’s start with where I ended up after half a day of setup. Much of what follows I learned from Ren Kun’s excellent blog posts about VS Code and R. The setup process was a lot more involved than RStudio which works pretty much out of the box, but I’m quite happy with the end result.
I’ve only used VS Code for a short time so am not an expert, but here is a quick summary of how I got it set up. VS Code is a popular development environment that now has very good support for R via some extensions. So at the suggestion of a few friends I decided to try VS Code instead.
For example the pane layout is not very flexible and I find that the process of sending code from the editor to the R console slows down sometimes for some unknown reason. I’ve used RStudio for a long time and am mostly happy with but it does have a few things that annoy me.
