My take would be: I want to work in the areas where Java is used, but not use Java.

For that there are already several good, stable JVM lisps, though. I assume people are moving to Clojure because they specifically want Clojure, not just a lisp on the JVM; otherwise the more conservative choice would be to use ABCL (if you want CL) or Kawa (if you want Scheme).

For me clojure is more about wonderful community (like ruby's one) and real projects (because of java libraries)
