Whats your favorite Scheme standard nowadays, /prog/? Are you coding from a standard or implementation specific?

R5RS and earlier are the best. R6RS goes against the Scheme philosophy. The mandated IEEE floats and UTF-32 characters decrease portability. Portable languages should be sufficiently general and abstract to be implemented 100 years from now, like C89 is. Tying it down to specific binary representations is harmful. R7RS will be even worse once they replace continuations with more limited exceptions.
Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary.
