Yes, this is the right way to edit Lisp. It gives most of the benefits of a structure editor without the downside. Balanced-delimiter editing makes Lisp actually easier to edit than any other language. (I've been editing Lisp this way since about 1980, when David Chapman and I implemented balanced-delimiter commands for Zmacs.)
(BTW I'm sure Rob is aware of Paredit. He's been around comp.lang.lisp a long time.)
