Assuming it works equally well, people like what they're used to. On top of that programming in the AST requires you to think about things a bit differently which only widens the gulf.
That said mathematical code is one of the few cases where I don't like s-exp as much. Having easy access to "real" macros tends to make up for it, but I just don't find infix plus functional very convenient when number crunching. It's likely a skill issue on my part but that doesn't change the end result.
