In my experience, most people who are so in love with macros/DSL's work on solo projects.

Are you working on a team? If yes, ask your coworkers what they think about your macros and it should be more obvious to you why macros/DSL's should be used much more sparingly than what you recommend.

You're setting up a false dichotomy. It's possible to not use macros and still keep the amount of code down to a reasonable level.
