I've wanted to try racket a few times but always found the "IDE" to be really unintuitive, clunky and weird. What gives? Is that by design or is it just that nothing better has been created so far? | ||

The IDE is not the language. Racket has good support in VSCode (via magic Racket and the Racket langserver), Emacs (Racket Mode) and Vim. https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/9.0/doc/guide/othe... The Racket Langserver obviously enables use in other editors that support the LSP. https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-langserver For editors that lack LSP support, scheme support is generally sufficient. All that aside, DrRacket the IDE has some nice features that just don't exist in other editors. I don't know of another IDE that has an integrated macro stepper. | ||

Go to racket-mode.com for the very nice Emacs-integration. | ||
