The first comment on that interview contains this interesting thought:
I wish he had called it newSCHEME so that people don't get a bad impression of Lisp from newLISP.
I'm still trying to work out what exactly this means... :-)

As the developer of Allegro Common Lisp John Foderaro stands for the standard common lisp world:

And Common Lisp is really a different thing than newLISP.
But in the tradition to early lisps like xlisp etc. newLISP is also a lisp.

Right, so he must be saying that newLISP damages the reputation of Lisp, not that people would be disappointed with Lisp after using newLISP.

Makes more sense that way! ;-)
