I think you have to take the praise in perspective? Go into it with the idea that you want to do OOP, and CLOS is pretty amazing. I agree with you, though, OOP should be something you reach for purposely, not as a default. And, unfortunately, the waters have been so muddied, that I couldn't tell you the best purposes to reach for it. About the best I can see is that it does lend itself well to metaphor, and people communicate almost exclusively in metaphors, when it comes to programming?
