one of the things that always put Lispers off is this same question. I have three arguments to make. Love, reason and trust. * Love. Parentheses are an advantage, you will learn to love them if you start some serious hacking. * Reason. They could have been taken away in more than 50 years of history. Guess what, they are still there. If I came to lisp as a newbie, I would think that there must be some reason. * Trust. Just trust all the people telling you over and over again for ages, just trust all the fine software engineers who kept them in place for a very long time.
