[racket-dev] comments on "comments on learning Racket"

I agree. Although I appreciate it helps in some classroom situations,
I don't think the status quo is best for programmers in general.

Also, speaking of Choose Language, I remember being very confused
early on because some options were "doubly hidden":

1. They're not under Preferences, they're under Choose Language.

2. Even when you do Choose Language, they're hidden until you click
Show Details.

Even after I discovered it, I forgot a few times; I remember hunting
for an option through all the Preferences "tabs", thinking, "geez, I
know I saw it _somewhere_ before...where the heck...?"
