505 MB not including dependencies, well sorta they are bundled.
It's only available as a deb with deps built in right now. Known issue
with a possible solution in the future. 16.04 might be possible for such
an un-bundling.

It's a really simple install. It does not have much of a developer
community though, dev is basically done by one company that makes a
competing paid version. Quickstart would basically be the R quickstart,
as it's an IDE for R.

It would make sense to approach the Rstudio team/company if we wanted to
include it. The followup would be do we also include Rstudio server and
Shiny server?

While I use it daily, I'm not sure if it's a good fit or not right now.
