> EDIT: And while I'm at it, are his/er packages what one usually uses in common lisp for web development?
No - but there are no packages one "usually uses in common lisp for web development". There are choices for every aspect and one is expected to make an informed decision or simply write yet another implementation of the same functionality if preferable in the specific project.
Of the packages mentioned I only use cl-who regularly; I have a modified hunchentoot for dev work and my own css generator. Using a package for handling ajax requests never occurred to me because for all my projects a 5 line macro did the job.
