For one exotic datapoint: I do use Emacs as an editor (almost exclusively) but never got the hang of Geiser. So I'm happy as a clam with Guile's REPL in a plain & simple terminal. > > Furthermore, what's the right direction to making non-Emacs users have > as nice of an experience as Emacs users do?

Some people are heavily working on Emacs's LSP support (as I said, not my thing), so I'd expect that giving Guile a good LSP support too might be a viable path to support (yuck [1]) vscode. Cheers [1] Sorry, I just can't suppress that completely, watching as I do how Microsoft is converting software development into Yet Another Social Network (and vscode is part of this, as is Github or as LinkedIn tried -- and failed to be). I'm a political animal, sorry for that. -- tomás
