Nah man,macros are the bee's knees! Being able to add new constructs to a language is neat. My favourite examples are match.scm - a pattern matcher that produces zero overhead code - and racket's for loops, which are just regular macros.
Being able to add features like that is amazing. Clojure'sarrow syntax? No problem. Python's list comprehensions? Can be done! A library for Pattern matching? Many to chose from!
Pattern matchers that were added to other languages as libraries are often weird to use. Match.scm has the same syntax as cond or case.
