I found that the biggest problem was choice paralysis. I just couldn't stick to any one way of doing things. I'd start a project and rework the data layer 10 times or come up with a dozen ways to compose restful access to a data source or something like that. A big advantage of going with a framework like Rails or Django or whatever is that a lot of the big choices are already made for you. When you pick Compojure and you start hacking, you can't help but feel isolated, and it's hard to know if what you're doing is even a good idea. That being said, I still like Compojure for whipping up really quick/small web apps where the problem and what needs to be presented are both well suited to the sort of thing Clojure solves.
