Just my experience: When I began using lisp on debian (stable/sarge, at that time), I initially tried CLC. But I had to abandon it soon, because the available packages were *horribly* old, esp. SBCL and slime. As you know, SBCL is released montly, and Slime does not even have a release cycle; unless you have a very recent version, the developers tend to ignore any help request (not that I blame them, that's just how it is).
Also, I am in no position to have an opinion on it, but It seems that the very concept of CLC is not universally appreciated; see certain posts in this thread for example: http://groups.google.it/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/d40f9d1c2464f679
