CLOS is The Right Thing in relation to OOP. Most Lispers just don't care about OOP or even hate it:
It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures. -- Alan Perlis
The purpose of OOP is to act as a "herding mechanism" that keeps mediocre programmers in mediocre organizations from "doing too much damage". This is at the expense of slowing down productive programmers who know how to use more powerful and more compact techniques. -- Paul Graham
