The simple syntax makes things like Hiccup and macros more convenient. https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup

Macros allow things like core.async (like Go's channels), which is just a normal library; you didn't have to upgrade your Clojure version or anything.

Immutable datastructures make your life simpler because you're not worried about values mutating suddenly. Keeps you from cloning or locking an object. And undo is simpler: you don't destroy old state by mutating it, so you can just hold onto old versions.
