Scheme is so much worse. It has so much repetition and is so much more verbose for no reason.

A macro-capable lisp means that this isn't permanently or definitionally true, even if it is today - which is pretty subjective.

Racket is IMO a pretty compelling environment for prototyping DSLs because of how malleable it can be, so I think the ceiling for ergonomics can be pretty high.
