Can you use quarto in vscode? It's the next magic from Posit.co

Yes, quarto has native support for VSCode: https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/vscode.html

There isn't much advantage to using it over RMarkdown for R, IMO.

Thanks for the link! Is it possible to display plots inline like in notebooks? (The screenshot shows a plot in a preview pane.)

Unfortunately no. (tbh I don't like that feature in RStudio anyways: it makes it longer to scroll through large notebooks, and ggsave is better at rendering charts than R's native rendering)

For knitting, you can use Markdown image links.

Thanks for letting me know.

That's a lot of prerequisites for something that just works in rstudio.

It takes 5-10 minutes to set up the dependencies.

I'll give it a try, your work has been an inspiration in the past so I trust your good taste!
