RStudio is also my favorite editor. All my work is data science / stats related, where I like the workflow of writing/modifying code in a .R (or .py) file, and being able to quickly experiment by running chunks in a REPL with Ctrl + Enter. R and Python are supported. No Julia, unfortunately. VS Code and Atom support similar workflows with Julia. However, the Julia Language server in VS Code is extremely unstable and I regularly lose LaTeX completions. The REPL in Atom is mind boggling laggy and slow to the point that it is much less frustrating to copy and paste code into a REPL running in your favorite terminal emulator.

r studio supports python? does it completion and stuff like that?

  It uses reticulate for REPL support, and has basic Python completions and snippets. However, it doesn't seem to complete variable names. Eg, if I defined "foobar", it won't let me tab-complete that later when I start typing "foo".

  You can use R Studio to execute the code, and you're preferred editor to do the editing, if you like.

Is that atom's fault or just the Julia REPL's fault? I use the REPL directly on Windows and it seems to be really slow as it will take something like "using JuMP" and precompile the module which takes time.

  I think it is Juno (the Julia package for Atom)'s fault. Atom is fine on its own, as is the Julia REPL after compilation. I just looked through Julia's settings tab in Atom, and saw the option "Fallback Renderer" with the note "Enable this if you're experiencing slowdowns in the built-in terminals." It was disabled by default, so I've just enabled it. Subjectively, I think it feels fine now. Longer use will tell, but I suspect I was just running into a known issue some setups run into, and they already provided the workaround. EDIT: Comparing running some code in Atom's terminal and a REPL running in the GNOME Terminal, the regular REPL still feels notably snappier -- even though I'm `using OhMyREPL`, which makes the REPL a bit less responsive. I'd say Atom feels acceptable (and definitely not "mind boggling laggy" right now), and shift/ctrl + enter more convenient than switching tabs. So I will stick with it (for Julia). More time shall tell.

    I wonder if Windows is slower. It isn't terrible, but waiting 8 seconds after typing in "using JuMP" is kind of long.
