First, it's Lisp not LISP. Using "LISP" immediately flags you as someone with a superficial (if at all there) understanding of the language.
Second, unsubstantiated proclamations like "Overuse of them led to LISP code being hard to read" reinforce the previous point. Could you provide a clear reference where Lisp macros are considered "mistakes of history"? Clear references where overuse of Lisp macros turned out to be a problem?
I'm curious if you've ever used a Lisp development environment with facilities such as interactive macroexpanders or if you're just assuming things based on your (incomplete, suspect) understanding of the domain.
