Rethink it, you really should. ESS is fantastic for R, and in general, Emacs
modes make Python easier too, as they do for a gazillion other programming
languages, formats, ssh session, sql db sessions, shell session, directory
work a la Norton Commander etc pp. It is also pretty much OS independent, ie
it allows me to forget that I have to work with win2k at work.
Not to start a religious war, but this one of the few things I hold dear
when it comes to computing.
