• Integrated R console, script editor with syntax highlighting, code completion, and on-the-fly help
• Spreadsheet-like data editor, workspace and object browsers, and project/workspace management
• Dialogs for descriptive statistics, modeling, hypothesis tests, plots, and data import—each producing editable R code
• HTML-based results output that captures tables, text, and graphics for easy review and export
• Built-in package manager for installing, updating, and managing R packages
• Extensible plugin system (XML/JavaScript) to add analyses and tailor workflows
