That's not really Lisp related. It's more like how the community likes to see code being written.

For example I would regularly make use of macros to provide more declarative syntax various programming concepts.

There are Lisp dialects which are light on macros and some which are using macros a lot more. For example the base language of Common Lisp already makes use of many macros by providing them to the user as part of the language (from DEFUN, DEFCLASS, ... INCF, upto LOOP).
