My opinion is: Macros extend the language ("Lisp is a programmable programming language"). Using macros can be beneficial if the problem is of a kind so that adding new constructs to the language allows for abstractions or at least coding style that makes writing and reading code (and thinking) actually easier. If that's not the case, don't use them when possible. Michael.
