Zero visible experience with CL on top of a project list where half of the links give a 404. Others are unmaintained slop output. Sprinkled with Paul Graham references and the Harvard badge.

Lisp and functional languages have a determined following. I rather like both too, but if a claim like this was made about any popular language, there would be a lot more detractors in the comments. I was hoping this would be an interesting article with actually good points so I could use them as incentive to finally get started on making some with Common Lisp, but it was very poorly written.
