Two more things:

1) printing is often not a viable option for lazily eval-ed sequences or 
async processes -- the output gets jumbled! And believe me, when a new 
Clojure dev sees that for the first time, he/she wants to quit.
2) printing is terrible for elegant clojure code -- thing (comp f g h 
(partial map z)) -- in order to figure out anything about dynamic data 
flowing through, you have to break apart that composition or add a let 
binding in one of those functions before returning a value. Both of those 
involve a lot of friction.
