I agree on that

That is true.

I totally agree with that too. I showed RKWard to an RStudio user last week. 
She has been using R for a long time, but only knew RStudio. She was already a 
little enthusiastic about RKWard.

Thomas has always integrated ingenious features. My favourite technologies are 
the code snippets, with which I could provide many useful templates for R code 
and RMarkdown. In the future, I would also like to provide more YAML snippets 
and LaTeX snippets. The RStudio user was also impressed by the previews. I find 
them more and more ingenious. You could show something like that when the 
basic framework is ready.
