I am an Emacs Lisp programmer, and all Common Lisp functions prefixed with `cl-` I find liberating in the sense that personally within Emacs Lisp I do not like mixing it because it is not Common Lisp. All my software was first in Common Lisp, I know it and use it every day, I am a heavy user of my own Common Lisp. But within Emacs, I like using Emacs Lisp pure—it is a personal choice.
