I think that the real problem is that developers believe that they will find it difficult before they try it, rather than actually finding it difficult when they eventually do try it.
That is pretty much what I meant. But given that the language expressions people are exposed to in their lives before LISP inherently aren't going to look like LISP, this a "marketing problem" that isn't going to go away. LISP doesn't look like natural language, that won't change and will always be hard for people to get over.
