Thanks Stas, I got #2, #3, issue solved. I'm much happier now.
For #1, swank-backend:*debug-swank-backend* is set to nil by default and I'm seeing bunch of swank:.... messages. As non-slime developer, I'm not interested in swank message at all. I rather not see them at all, not to clutter debug outputs. Is there some important reason I'm missing?

Hi, all,
I've been using Slime on top of Franz ACL for quite a while. My experience with Slime is very positive and I like Slime better in every aspects except in following situations.
1. Slime debugger: It prints bunch of Slime (swank: ..... ) relatedmessages that I'm not interested. It's always hard to trying to comb through messages that I'm interested. How can I turn Slime related messages off?
It should include swank frames only at the bottom, unless you have swank-backend:*debug-swank-backend* set to T.
- While debugging, evaulating expression does not print anything but
only the retuned result. Can I have it print to the standard output, i.e., console?
You can set swank:*globally-redirect-io* to T.
- Lack of REPL command: Franz Eli supports REPL commands, for
example, ":proc" for listing processes, ":pa" to change package and so on. Is there way to add them in?
There are commands prefixed with ",", for example, ",in" to change package. There is no analogue to :proc command, but it's accessible through C-c C-x t key, and you can easily add one with:
(defslime-repl-shortcut nil ("processes") (:handler 'slime-list-threads))
