The anti parentheses argument is usually just a straw that people grasp, who have no experience with writing code in lispy languages. A quick superficial jab at something they do not know well, so that they can go on with their day, without having to deal with learning a new thing, that might change their whole view of programming.

Plus, don't forget the secret sauce of Lisp syntax: same number of parentheses, with none of the commas. Nor the semicolons. Nor the brackets. Nor the braces.

I can live with brackets and braces tho ;) Clojure <3 But that is a very nice observation that is true for traditional lisps. I need to give racket or scheme one more look.
