People praise Gerbil a lot for different reasons (having rich libraries, being newbie friendly etc) but I find its opinionated style to be very off-putting. Not to mention that it teaches newbies an unidiomatic Scheme style. I'd rather write in Gambit with add-on libraries (although Black Hole is pretty crappy), or use another Scheme implementation built upon Gambit, like JazzScheme.
