It's not emotional, no. After just a few months of using Lisps it feels like parentheses bring some structure and order. In non-lispy languages things feel "all over the places" - there you do have to deal with punctuation - not just parens but: semicolons, dots, commas, brackets, curlies, indentation.

Programming in a Lisp is like writing a prose. Your brain is occupied with ideas, you just need to type them down. You don't need to think about structure (until later), it's a flow - you're looking for right words (functions), you can immediately try them out in the REPL, pretty much like a writer would review usage of a word in a thesaurus or a dictionary.

But to be fair I met a few people who claimed that even after months of using a Lisp, they just couldn't get the parentheses. I dunno, guess some people's brains maybe just not suited. You can call it dyslisplexia or whatever.
