In comparison to slime, lisp-mode is *extremely* primitive. The
difference is very much like a comparison between a syntax
highlighting mode which allows advanced editing of common lisp
(lisp-mode) and a fully integrated common lisp development envrionment
(slime) which provides a lot of really neat features. 

Anyone working with CL and emacs who is not running slime is really
missing out on a lot.
