Indeed. But lisp is much more than prefix notation.
Different notations like revers polish notation also easier to parse. You can evaluate RPN only using stack.
Also, recently I learned about thread-last macro in emacs lisp. Using it you can evaluate forms from left to right, and using it you can write less parenthesis.
