As someone who's written a bit of Common Lisp, I can say that the macros are a pretty awesome feature to use. Common Lisp has the advantage over Clojure and Scheme that the SBCL compiler is incredibly fast; it can come close to C#/F# on Mono for some tasks, in spite of Lisp being a dynamic language. It also compiles code and expands macros much faster. It's got more power than the other lisps, but it's also less elegant, so make of that what you will.
