Syntax-rules is handy for simple stuff, but I'd hate for it to be the

I think quite otherwise: I would never write a macro in any system
other
than syntax-rules -- all other macro systems strike me as standing on
a foundation of quicksand.
Oooh, interesting!
Pray tell?
My position, I suppose, is that I'm personally quite interested in
quite complex macros. Such as, for example, ones that implement quite
different programming languages by really being a compiler from them
into Scheme...
