I just want to point out that you can use other editors: emacs, vim, vs code. If you really want to stay with DrRacket, feel free to open a feature request about this on the github racket/DrRacket repo.
Actually, not using paredit (or equivalent) for editing Lisps is something I'm unable to do anymore. I sometimes use DrRacket for debugging, but racket-mode and paredit make Emacs hundreds times more efficient for me.
