Why don't you tell us what do you plan to use it for so we can give

I'm currently using SBCL, but testing CLISP I discovered that is is
fastest if you use CLOS.

From my own humble experience with libraries (that I've encountered,
YMMW) authors usually tend to support the big five SBCL, OpenMCL,
ACL, LW & CMUCL. Check the domain that you're interested in to see
library situation for CLisp.

I'm testing some AI things. I'm not actually doing any professional
work on software development.
I was using OSX, but switched to Linux, as I discovered that Linux
treats programmers (specially Lisp programmers) much better.
Library suppoirt in linux is probably best in lisp world.

What's the word on GNOME and KDE applications in Common Lisp?
Haven't seen many...

But this
is irrelevant to the original question. I just wanted to know why
people are actually prefering CLISP over SBCL and CMUCL, as I think
this might be usefull for people trying to decide what implementation
to choose.

Than you'll have to wait for some CLisp user to explain it to you.
Probably CLisp is the most portable choice, whichever exotic OS & cpu
combination I've checked there's have been always a CLisp port.
