Oh, DrRacket also dogfoods its own GUI library. Write high level Racket; get fully native UI on Mac/Windows/Linux(gtk).

The IDE is not very mature. For example if you use the dialog to search through files, the UI locks up while searching. Usability generally is low...
DrRacket looks a little dated in its vanilla configuration, but the layout of the editor / REPL parts can be changed around a bit, the color schemes swapped out. There's even a paredit mode for DrRacket. Overall, if I were somehow coding more exclusively in Racket, I could easily see using and extending DrRacket rather than my current emacs.
