That is true and whenever I switch from Clojure to C, I immediately feel the pain (what do you mean I can't just kill or lift this entire expression?).
But structured editing has a learning curve, so it's a difficult balancing game. Beginners are overwhelmed by all the parentheses, while experienced programmers don't even notice them and love the structured editing approach.
