I still use `syntax-rules` a lot for simple macros - there's hardly any boilerplate and macros come out very readable without all the quasi-quoting, quasi-unquoting etc. that happens in other macro systems. But some things just can't be accomplished with it. I only turn to `syntax-case` for these things, like introducing new identifiers, or fully procedural tasks. It blew my mind when I discovered that I could write a macro that actually reads files from disk and binds variables to each path at macro-expansion time (not saying that's a great idea though...)
