Well, de gustibus non est disputandum, but let me suggest something
anyway; use s-exp key bindings for navigating and deleting
s-expressions. I used to find myself holding down the delete key (and
even the arrow keys) a lot, until I discovered M-C-f, M-C-b, and M-C-k.
Frankly, these are a big win whether you're using emacs or drscheme.
Just my opinion, and I will freely admit that insert & delete in
drscheme are not entirely up to par.
hope this is of some use,
