Interesting that they mention Unicode problems on Windows. I've ran into these a couple of times where data exported from Windows R had unicode codepoints swapped and/or double-encoded. The all-in-one ecosystem of R is nice, but text encoding is still a major pain point (e.g. people try to put emoji into RMD to translate into pdf via tinytex, and fail miserably, of course).
