I'm giving up MIT-Scheme for DrScheme. It wasn't the nightmarish source installation that did me in. It wasn't the 1970s looking interface. It was the fact that my Ubuntu 6.06 version of MIT-Scheme returned an empty list for falsity.
I just read in R5RS that empty lists are **TRUE** in Scheme. **Only** #f is false in scheme. You can't EVER use () for falsity. Yes, yes I know this was fixed in a newer version. BUT!!!! it was *right* in the old version of DrScheme that came with Ubuntu 6.06. So DrScheme has been right longer. We won't be pushing Scheme to the limit in SICP so I'd recommend people enjoy the nice GUI interface of DrScheme and leave MIT-Scheme behind. Just my $0.02.
