If one already knows Clojure, the value is obvious: you don't need to learn a new language.

It's also of course debatable that scheme is "just as nice", so you can imagine there are people who, other things being equal, prefer Clojure.

Certainly. As I said, I like Clojure, but I'd be happy to be able to program in Scheme as well. I guess the history of LISP should have told me that not all people who like one LISP necessarily don't mind using another.
