The other of which is that they are so easy to write, that they just become another tool you use on a constant basis, just like you'd write a function, you write a macro, no big deal. I don't know that most Rust users have busted out a Rust macro or ever will.
And one more of which is that macros are so well integrated, the languages themselves are implemented almost entirely with them. The number of compiler forms you need is very small. I think Common Lisp has like 30 compiler forms, and Clojure like 20, Scheme must be even less. That's all you need. This is why Clojure has a JavaScript, C#, Erlang, C++ and Go dialect as well as the default Java one, because you don't have that much work to do in the compiler, everything else just re-use the macros.
I'll give in to Elixir, whose macros are pretty good, and for which I like the language, obviously, since it's like a Clojure with a different syntax and Beam instead of Java :p. Still would have preferred they'd just go with a full Lisp syntax and macro system, but oh well, a Lispyfied Ruby shall do.
But ya, most other languages, even those trying to have more macro support like Nim, Rust, Julia, don't fully approach Lisp macros, even if some gets pretty close, like Elixir. Also, I don't know if comparing other niche languages with a niche language is a very good overall comparison.
