I have a legacy app that I wrote using Noir. It was awesome at first, but after a while it felt like it was constraining me. Clojure isn't really a language for frameworks. Ring + Compojure (+ perhaps lib-noir, haven't tried it) is all you really need.

Noir wasn't really much of a framework either. It was mostly a collection of libraries and a bit of code that added the middleware for them for you. The constraining part was the mutable nature of defpage and how hard it made it to actually get at and do anything interesting with your routes.
