I have a theory as to why there aren't many end-user programs ("apps"), whether TUI or GUI, written in Common Lisp: it's because nearly all Common Lisp programmers are also Emacs Lisp programmers and so naturally we think "this could just be a major mode", thus ensuring the cycle of: +1 Emacs Package, -1 Common Lisp app.
