I've used Lisps on and off for a decade or so, and my experience with it is pretty much in line with the Grammarly devs' summary: misuse of macros is one of those things people just assume is a major problem, but in reality is quite rare, even in cases like Emacs Lisp where most packages are developed by just one person. Lisp is not Perl, its users do not create spaghetti mazes for fun.
