[plt-scheme] Interacting w/ MzScheme

If you're referring to Quack, I'm using it now but it doesn't do much
AFAIK. Google found a defunct mzscheme-ilisp, but nothing else.

No one want an IDE flame war. Since I'm muddling by with DrScheme now,
maybe I'll send in a newbie's half-assed opinion later.

Do most people use DrScheme, not MzScheme, for development? If you've
convinced other Emacs zealots to change, then I'll give it another
weekend before I give up. ;-)
