Clojure is a more opinionated language. It has a BDFL who has really stamped his mark on it. This is very much reflected in the standard library and the built-in syntax for the standard collections. Sure, nothing is stopping Racket from doing everything Clojure does, however defaults do matter. Once a language reaches critical mass, it becomes very difficult to change without breaking everything.

If you think Racket doesn't have a defacto unofficial BDFL, youve not met the core team, let alone Matthias Felleisen. Brilliant, nice, and loudly communicative folks all!

Racket has one of the most thoughtful, opininonated, and caring core dev groups of any language, bar none. Any implication otherwise comes from ignorance. :)
