This feels just like working with another API to me. Macros can be arbitrarily complicated I suppose, but is the typical usage any more complex than learning an API? I don't really know, I guess, but my experience hasn't shown this to be that challenging.

I can appreciate that programming languages are ultimately codifying a particular way to think about computation, and macros express more idiosyncratic ways of thinkingabout comouting that may not be readily understandable.

I do think Racket has issues, but this isn't the first one I would cite.
