"RStudio is now Posit"
I'm a bit confused if this means the software will get a new name, too? Or is it just the company? See rstudio.com ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.149.76.124 (talk) 15:15, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Separate articles for RStudio IDE and RStudio, Inc.?
I think the focus of this article (about the RStudio IDE) could be much improved, by pulling content that is really about RStudio, Inc., into a separate article about the company as such.

 * good idea. RUser who has to explain R to people sometimes JuanTamad (talk) 01:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Is the company notable separately from their product? Tayste (edits) 01:24, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Cdhowe (talk) 14:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC) Reinforcing Davebraze's point, we should plan to separate the two ideas: the RStudio IDE (which is a product) and RStudio, PBC (which is the company). While many people refer to RStudio as meaning the IDE, RStudio now has several products and is itself trying to disambiguate those two meanings. While the company currently still uses RStudio as an implicit reference to the RStudio Desktop product, you should expect that to change in the not too distant future. See the current RStudio Product page for RStudio which, after the title, proceeds to use the official product names of RStudio Desktop and RStudio Server. I'll try to check back when the web site no longer refers to the ambiguous RStudio.

Code sample
The recently added code sample really has nothing to do with RStudio. The company simply provides an IDE for R (programming language), a language that goes back to Bell Labs. RStudio developed on its own Shiny, but nothing in the code snippet. The commands in the code long predated RStudio. It doesn't show off the elegant features of the vector and matrix operations in R. It was cut and pasted from a text editor and does not render well in Wikipedia. It really needs to go. Rhadow (talk) 19:49, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I entirely agree, so I removed it once more. The place for examples of R code is R (programming language). But there are several better examples there already, so no point moving the added code sample over there. --Qwfp (talk) 20:12, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
