I would definitely use it in geiser, my emacs mode, to provide functionality similar to that of DrScheme's. For instance, highlighting and reporting of syntax errors. And one thing i cannot currently do (perhaps because i don't know how to do it in mzscheme) is to show callers/callees trees. Also, i currently compute an approximate list of local identifiers by parsing forms in elisp (to offer them for completion): with check-syntax i'd have a correct list of local bindings available, and could perhaps also highlight them. In summary, i'd bring DrScheme's check-syntax interface the mzscheme/emacs world.
