I don't find it to be one of the reasons I use Clojure... Nor do I find it significantly easier than other options I've used in the past (e.g. Java + Jetlang)
I feel like concurrency is the half-truth we tell to encourage borderline adopters or spark interest. I don't believe it's a motivating factor for adoption. Of course, I could name 10+ other motivating reasons, but that's probably a topic for another time...
