Really? Axiom was one of the three largest commercial computer
algebra systems (alongside Mathematica and Maple). It contains
about 1 million "things of code" ("lines of code" is meaningless in lisp).

Axiom does windowing, 2D and 3D graphics, and communicates
with a firefox browser. In its commercial lifetime it had the NAG
fortran numeric library in the back end.

This is one of many commercial products that use lisp.
You just never hear about it. After all, do you know what
languages are behind the commercial software you use?
Do you even care to know? Try this:
