Hunh? I use "vi" (only) to edit Scheme all day. Just "set lisp showmatch".

Try MzScheme <URL:http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/mzscheme>:

	MzScheme supports pre-emptive threads of Scheme evaluation.
	These threads do not use operating system threads and do not
	require any additional support from another C/C++ program
	using MzScheme as an extension language interpreter.
