That's interesting.  I would have said almost exactly the opposite:
the bigger your code gets, the more of a relative advantage I have
using PLT Scheme.

PLT gives me the nestable editor classes which are far more powerful
most "Widgets" I've seen in other toolkits.  I suspect you simply
haven't looked at what they can do.

Also, don't forget that PLT is a cross-platform environment; if you're
writing applications for that kind of setting, .NET isn't even an
option.
