I don't think anyone is arguing against the usefulness of macros in
general, only skeptic macros that introduce a totally new mini-language
for a lot independent functionality, most of it already user-visible and
documented in the user manual. Such is the case of `use-package'
For fairness, such is also the case of the `define-minor-mode' macro,
which is invaluable, but that is for package developers, not users, and
that makes a difference in my opinion.
