Probably because it's not in clojure.core, which means a) it isn't found by searching the docs in many of the usual ways; b) it isn't in the various "intro to clojure" books that have been popping up; and c) using it takes a bit of additional effort compared to using stuff from clojure.core Yes, I know rolling your own likely takes more effort than adding an import line and widening the scope of doc searches. Go figure. It gets worse, of course, when the library isn't in the main clojure jar either, so that project dependencies have to be added, additional files downloaded, and suchlike, and an even wider doc search is needed to find the thing. So we see more frequent overlooking of things in clojure.set etc. than in clojure.core, more frequent still when it's in contrib, and more frequent still when it's in neither the clojure jar nor the contrib jar. (Which, with 1.3's breakup of contrib, will be almost everything not in core.) -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?! Master: Your father's Lisp REPL.
