People largely agree that with-slots is beneficial, for example.  with-slots
wouldn't be possible without symbol-macrolet.

Both macrolet and symbol-macrolet (and flet as well) are indispensable in
macros.  macrolet is effectively a built-in code-walker and code transformer,
the most powerful functionality accessible to end user in CL and likely in
Elisp as well.  symbol-macrolet is comparable (it can be used to achieve
effects that can't be achieved with macrolet).
