Sure, but it's the same as the "replace (La)TeX" problem: part of the value of the ecosystem is the huge collection of packages/extensions.

But if there was a reasonable way of porting packages over to a CL/Scheme new editor base, I agree that would be good.

Sure, but a bad, unconfigurable tool is more work.
