I never understood that hate. R6RS is the only Scheme standard that makes it possible to write useful standards-compliant programs. R7RS-small is a big step back in that respect. The new standard is less of a burden on the implementer[0], and I guess that makes it popular in the Scheme community, as that mostly consists of people implementing Scheme and very few people writing Scheme programs. I built a Chez Scheme backend for Idris (and Idris2 uses Chez as the default compilation target). I used it because it's so much better than the other compilers, and what's the point of being compliant with a standard that provides no interoperability anyway because it is so meager?
