RMarkdown in RStudio was the killer feature, until the VSCode R extension matured. Not only does it support RMarkdown, it adds a ton of features RStudio doesn't have and runs a lot faster. https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/R-Markdown https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/R-Markdown
For my uses, it replaced RStudio 100% of the time.
- adr1an 3y agoCan you use quarto in vscode? It's the next magic from Posit.co
- minimaxir 3y agoYes, quarto has native support for VSCode: https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/vscode.html https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/vscode.html There isn't much advantage to using it over RMarkdown for R, IMO.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoThanks for the link! Is it possible to display plots inline like in notebooks? (The screenshot shows a plot in a preview pane.)
- minimaxir 3y agoUnfortunately no. (tbh I don't like that feature in RStudio anyways: it makes it longer to scroll through large notebooks, and ggsave is better at rendering charts than R's native rendering) For knitting, you can use Markdown image links.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoThanks for letting me know.
- Tarq0n 3y agoThat's a lot of prerequisites for something that just works in rstudio.
