For Lisp users this is 35% extra vertical space for zero readability benefit. Or negative readability rather. When I see this formatting style I have to fix it before I can read it. It's like trying to read C code with an extra blank line after every single closing brace.

Lisp users are a diverse crowd. I won't be so bold as to sign off for all of them.

The main reason to use it is not for reading it is to work with version control which is all line orientated.

The reading is not that bad as the indentation tells you where the brackets are and you don't really notice them.

Why 35%? I can't seem to align with you on the math here.

You are right, I made the classic mistake of doing the percentage backwards. Once properly formatted I am counting 16 lines and it goes up to 25 so it's a 56% increase.
