For me, the heart of Lisp is that code is expressed in terms of data structures, i.e. that there is no separate syntax for code and data. Clojure respects that principle. While it is true that Clojure's syntax is slightly less regular than other Lisps' in using both lists and vectors to define code, that is a minor issue for me, and my experience is that Clojure code is definitely easier to read than other Lisps because of this. Of course, the only universally true statement about syntax is that it is a matter of taste...
