Thanks guys for your valuable feedback. I'll go through the links and get
back to you.

Thanks. Didn't know that.

While it does autocomplete the closing paren, it does not prevent you from
breaking the form if I accidentally delete the opening/closing paren.
Paredit does not allow you to do that. It gives you a very systematic way
of editing your code.

It does feel frustrating at first, but since I've been using it for a year
or so, I find that totally worth learning and porting.
Would love to hear someone's opinion on that in this community.

Thank you all.
