There was a recent thread on this. Some of the issues that were raised (and for which workarounds were presented) were slot defaults, keyword args to struct-map, and the fact that defstructs implement IFn. I had also found it more elegant to write a macro or two to expand into struct-related code than into record-related code. I do think that decent workarounds were presented for all of the issues that were raised, but they were workarounds and the built-in features of records don't yet include the struct features that were raised.
