No one who seriously gives Lisp a chance ends up disliking it because of the parens. It's about as reasonable as disliking C/C++ because of semi-colons. It's a superficial thing to criticize because you obviously haven't actually given the language a shot.

Given all the weird syntax people put up with in other languages I don't really get the complaint.
