Disclaimer: I think what Friend is trying to do is super important and cemerick rocks.
However, I found Friend to be really difficult to grok the first time I took a stab at it many months ago, perhaps I'm more capable of getting into it now. My concern was that it is so broadly encompassing and there are too few examples of how to use it in scenarios similar to the ones I face every day. For example, I ended up rolling my own cookie-based role auth middleware (relying on Ring's cookie store) in about 15 lines of clj, significantly simpler for a basic scenario. By the way, it would be really neat if someone added a Friend chapter to the upcoming Clojure Cookbook. I created an issue for it over 6 months ago and nobody's taken it up so far, so I can't tell if most of the community has given up on the library or if it's just too much of a hassle to explain to others.
