Approaching Positron from RStudio
summary
Argues that the easiest path to Positron is to start inside RStudio by changing three habits: use the Commands Palette to learn command names that match Positron, use the Terminal for reproducible workflows that run anywhere, and adopt agentic CLI AIs like Claude Code and Gemini CLI to edit source from the shell. Claims these tweaks cut the painful relearning phase, keep productivity intact during a release, and genuinely speed adoption.
