   I've heard all the reasons why Lisp is such a great language, but no one
   seems to be using it for anything but research projects. (I think. Correct
   me if I'm wrong.)

Come to next year's Lisp Users and Vendors Conference.  The one this
year had plenty of developers delivering real-life applications in
Lisp.

You also might ask Harlequin Inc. for a copy of their press release
describing the use of their real-time CLOS in an announced AT&T
switching system.
