I totally agree with this.
My cousin needed some nice R development environment, but we were unable
to find any that match his needs. I also looked at existing IDEs, to
write some plugin (or contribute to existing one), but none of them
satisfied me.
So I recently started my own project. I wrote some dirty basic features
proof-of-concept code, and I'm currently working on the IDE's
architecture.
