When I first started writing Lisp I was put off by how simple the syntax was. Everything looks the same and it was so hard to tells things apart. After working with Lisp for a long enough time I began to love the simplicity. Everything is so simple, nothing gets in the way of reading code.
To poorly paraphrase Bruce Lee: "When I first started to learn Lisp, I thought it was all just parens. After I truly learned Lisp, I realized it is all just parens."
