As for getting more people interested: Cells picks up one new user every year, and it looks like you are the one for 2008 -- I have six months before I have to worry about finding another user.

I am changing jobs soon, and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to build a good business case for using both CL and Cells. I use Lispworks, but I might have to "settle" for ECL or SBCL. We'll see.
I'm especially hopeful re: Cells because we're gonna be building v3 of an application that started life as an Excel spreadsheet.
I remember someone mentioning that a big problem in tall buildings was the amount of business logic hidden in spreadsheets. I have this dream fantasy of getting rich just by writing a parser that would convert a spreadsheet to the equivalent Lisp/Cells application where they could see the rules anyway.
