Comparing Positron to RStudio

Theo Roe performs a product comparison:

Positron is the new beta Data Science IDE from Posit. Though Posit have stressed that maintenance and development of RStudio will continue, I want to use this blog to explore if Positron is worth the switch. I’m coming at this from the R development side but there will of course be some nuances from other languages in use within Positron that require some thought.

Read on for Theo’s perspective. Knowing that it’s using the same underlying framework as Visual Studio Code, I kind of wish this were an extension for VS Code rather than a separate app.
