There are strictly more parentheses since other languages also use [] and {} (and <>) instead for different things. Or even ; or whitespace. Ignoring the majority of available brace types is just stupid if you ask me. The parentheses being at the wrong positions is something I can deal with (still no fan of RPN, but w/e), but intentionally crippling syntax that could help is just not a good idea. Syntax is your friend, use it.

Janet also uses [] and {}, and there is a reason people like the really consistent syntax. For me that reason is blind aesthetics, but I swear to you I sincerely find lisp code easier to read than non-lisp code. It's not "intentionally crippling syntax" it's a genuine difference in taste.
