>Lisp-2, false NIL, full-powered macros — Common Lisp has a lot going for it. I agree, however my reasons for going towards Common Lisp vs Scheme wouldn't really be those, but basically that important stuff is already standardized, proven and documented (i.e. conditions&restarts, object oriented system), while on the Scheme world they are left to "roll your own" status. I'd say Scheme is a great language for learning and exploring, while CL is a better choice for creating production software.
