I also like Racket for a good few of these reasons, but the tooling has a lot of sharp edges and limitations in practice. It would be unfair to expect a full JetBrains/Microsoft IDE experience but it surprised me that a Lisp descendant would come with such an underpowered default REPL. I also find, whatever the technical merits of Scribble compared to docstrings and Markdown, that the documentation for most Racket packages is poorly written compared to that for even minor packages in common languages.
