This may be true for an experienced user, but I've mainly used VS Code/Atom/Sublime etc, and I did not enjoy DrRacket -- I'm assuming that's what you're talking about. Some of the dropdown menus didn't render for me, and while this may sound stupid, I had the damnedest time figuring out that half my screen was a REPL and the other half a file.
- peatmoss 10y agoHow long ago did you try it / what platform are you running on? It was a few years ago now, but they rewrote the GUI libs to be native rather than whatever x-platform lib they used. DrRacket seemed to get... better then. I mostly use emacs, but was playing with paredit for DrRacket with emacs keybindings the other day and decided that I could get to like some of the other creature comforts of DrRacket.
