[plt-scheme] Any reason to use quote rather than quasiquote

I know about unquoting; I meant to ask whether it matters when no
unquoting is used. I find quasiquote more comfortable since then
unquoting doesn't require me to change the quote to a quasiquote.

  For list-related administrative tasks:

Another answer to this question is that you can use unquoting. You may
or may not have inferred this from later messages, but unquoting lets
you put values into the middle of a quoted expression. For example:

> (define (f x) `(1 2 ,x 4))
> (f 3)
(1 2 3 4)
> (f 'three)
(1 2 three 4)
