It definitely does! In fact with the Community Edition it becomes a perpetually free R IDE. edit: see gnoway's comment below tho.

    Correct, CE version has restrictions. It's great for checking out RTVS to decide if you want to upgrade to Pro/Enterprise.

      Which kind of defeats the fact that RVTS is free and open source, but is still fundamentally understandable in terms of Microsoft's strategy in this area.

        Yes. Hopefully when/if we doe VSCode/R it'll be fully open source.

        It doesn't defeat the fact at all. The number of users who can now use it for free is much greater than before (zero).
