I think a lot of that has to do with Java interop. I could be wrong but IMO the language features people rave about are all balanced by warts. I like Clj and I like CL and many Schemes. Diversity is cool.

I agree that java interop is a big deal, but mainly to library writers.

End users, I think, end up using clojure wrappers around java libs instead of java libs directly.

For end users (application writers), the single most important thing are the easy to use yet very powerful data structures.
