Did you try coding in it for more than a week? I have found that using a properly indenting editor (Emacs, drracket) the parents just fade away.

And then you discover paredit and you start wishing every other language would let you treat your source code like that.

Yes. I was required to use Lisp for intro comp sci in College, followed by all the AI courses in Lisp, then a few jobs.

It's just never been a go to language for me.

Sounds fair. Most of the time people say "i don't like the parens" the closest they came to actually using a lisp was JavaScript.
