what would acutally be the benefit of using RMarkdown over Org-mode, or
put it another way - when you already use RMarkdown, why do you need
Org-mode too? And if you use Org-mode, what does RMarkdown add to the
table?
And then there is Outshine too, which lets you switch seemlessly switch
between ESS[R] and Org-mode, so you can program in R-mode, and write and
export in Org-ode, as well as other LP modes like the old (now
overhauled) ESS multi-mode and a new multi-mode developed by Phillip
Lord, so one needs reasons to add just another tool to the tool stack IMO.
