Do you mean a lack of documentation on syntax or lack of documentation on statistical methods? If it’s statistical methods, then you’ll need to look outside of R because R documentation isn’t trying to teach statistical methods. You can try [1] the series of books teaching statistical methods using R. In my stats degree we learned R methods alongside the statistical methods. R, to us at the undergrad level, is a fancy calculator. Yes it has functions and can do some “programming,” but it’s purpose is to facilitate using statistical methods and writing up reports. If the audience of your IDE is programmers who want to do data analysis, then I think that’s a different audience than statisticians, who I think are the majority of users of R. R studio is already a decent IDE that statisticians are familiar with, so it might be a hard group to get to switch. The syntax in R isn’t great. There are multiple ways of sub setting that depend on the data type you're subsetting. Many of the top stats programs have notes on R or courses designed to teach R that are freely accessible on the internet.
