You have to be clear about which Lisp. Clojure and Scheme are Lisps, and their focus is very much towards simplicity and the use of combinators.
The complex, do-it-all-in-one-huge macro is a Common Lispism, not a Lispism.
Secondly, Clojure, like Haskell, is focused on sequence abstractions, not lists. Sequences can include collections, streams, observables, sockets and many other kinds of process that can be modelled as an event stream.
