Thanks for the response. I might try converting some public domain text to Pollen sometime, any tips for getting around DrRacket's short comings besides separating racket and pollen source?
That's probably the main one, really. DrRacket really isn't a bad IDE -- it's not up to Emacs levels of programmable madness, but its keybindings are clearly inspired by Emacs and it has a lot of Lisp-aware functionality. But, its syntax highlighting engine seems to be very slow and hard to really turn off.
If you are an Emacs fan, you can use it for Racket instead of DrRacket using Geiser and Quack, which might solve a lot of problems. (I've never tried it -- I'm comfortable with Emacs, but I've never loved the way it handles prose rather than code.)
