I did use that, and as Phil points out ran into maven dependency issues. My motivation was mainly that it's convenient when you get dependency updates "for free", and I am pretty optimistic that my stuff usually won't break if foobar-0.1.0 is updated to foobar-0.2.0. Because of the dependency issues I stopped using version ranges, and in the meantime I discovered the leiningen outdated plugin at https://github.com/ato/lein-outdated Using that, running "lein outdated" tells you what dependencies have received updates (on maven central, clojars, whatever you use), and you can easily adjust versions and check if your project works with the new versions, too. That's about as convenient as version ranges, and it has the added benefit of you knowing exactly what you've updated in case an update really breaks something.
