That is something that I experienced in my personal workflow in both
RStudio and ESS. REPLs are jutt so easy and pleasant to hack in that
one is naturally drawn to them. Moving from there to utilizing
`ess-eval-line' is very natural because it does exactly what you would
expect, and you have a record, since it is just a normal file. Give it
some time and it will feel better to you.
