A third big reason is generality. The main reason why I prefer Emacs to 
DrRacket is that it does so many things unrelated to Racket. Anything 
that requires a text-based interface can be done in Emacs.

Since I do use DrRacket from time to time for very Racket-specific 
things (e.g. the debugger and the macro stepper), I do have a small 
wishlist:

1) Paredit mode like in Emacs, sufficiently compatible that I can switch 
seamlessly between the two.

Well, that's it. Just one point.

Konrad.
