Re: What feature would you most like to see in Lisp?
I'd like to have standardized support for threads. Having threads is a must for many things: for web-apps, for GUI apps (actually, for almost everything except command-line apps).

Re: Macro expansion, packages, and LET
Macro generates a piece of AST that contains symbols. Symbol is an object named by its package and name. Macro returns a subtree with symbols in it. Symbols are produced by reader.

Re: GUI lib recommendations
You can use lambda-gtk. The version on site is old and not working on sbcl, but it is trivial to get it working. It offers a complete gtk binding. (the patch to get it working is http://mo3r.nm.ru/lambda-gtk-0.1-sbcl-callbacks-with-asd.patch ) Other gtk+ bindings didn't work for me (apart from cells...
