I've found them really useful to build up html. Compare "tag" as a macro versus "tag" as a function.

  (tag body
    (tag div
      (map display-thread threads)))

  (tag body
    `(tag div
       ,@(map display-thread threads)))
This is sort of a simplistic example, but once you get deep into it, you are always quoting and unquoting, and it just gets too tedious.
