Sorry, I should have been more specific; but I was referring to the libraries available on Planet.
It looks like the new Planet that you guys just shipped doesn't have all the legacy mzscheme packages that used to seem to be the majority of packages. I don't know if that was intentional, but if not, I think that it's a nice tangential benefit.
I just remember every time I'd search for something on Planet, most of the results I'd get back were for old scheme libraries.
I know it's annoying as a developer to hear a vague criticism like "there's less useful libraries" without being able to provide a list of concrete items; but I'm going to annoy you by not being able to come up with anything specific right now. Sorry ;)
I will say though, I think Marketplace looks really neat, and I'm looking forward to testing it out for some things internally.
I am also very interested in Marketplace. I am just starting, but when I saw it I thought Erlang/OTP-ish concurrency and network stuff on Racket? Yes please!
