You underestimate the cognitive burden of resolving syntactic ambiguity with non-lisp languages. So many problems disappear with s-expressions that when I return to a language with a "human" syntax I feel bad that I have to work harder.

Indeed. In popular languages, I always add parens, because I'm second-guessing the parser.

Lisps just embrace the parens :D
