Racket is not Scheme anymore (it can't use SLIB, which relies on common Scheme facilities). Racket is a language and an environment on their own. For instance: debugging facilities are hidden into its IDE, therefore you'll have to leave your debugging environment of choice. Yes, you can run a REpL outside of its IDE, but you can't do much more than that.
