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. 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.


Just use MacPorts, I use CLISP + Emacs + SVN on Linux, OSX and
Windows. No problem with platforms on my side.
