I have to agree with that. I find Scheme to be a lot cleaner, more modern, and easier to use than Common Lisp.
I really only see two reasons to choose Common Lisp over Scheme. The first is that CL has a ton of libraries compared to most Schemes (though Racket has quite a few of its own.. I'm not sure how those two would compare on the library front). The second reason is that CL has a much larger community.
