The Clojure community is definitely less macro-crazy than other Lisp communities. But it’s also very programmer-specific. I’ve worked on OSS Clojure code where the original programmer loved macros. In general, I found it more annoying because reading through recursive macros is just more difficult than reading a simple function. So, I think it’s better for the community to de-emphasize macros, in general. Even if I want back to programming in CL or Scheme/Racket, I think I’d be much more judicious about using macros. Again, nothing against macros in general. They are a powerful tool in Lisp. But, to quote Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility.
