The only thing really good about elisp is that it is integrated into Emacs.
But that's really, really good compared to most programs, which are customized by dialog boxes or INI files. Imagine how great it would be if you could script your web browser using some semi-decent programming language, and your scripts would work 30 years from now.

I don't know if I would call elisp awesome. In fact,I would probably not be alone in calling it the worst lisp dialect in widespread use.
