You have to use it for some time, and then the parenthesis will just disappear.

This is really true. I've recently moved to CLJS from Ruby/vanilla JS, and it took a couple weeks to be able to make sense of it. Now I don't notice it at all. It's just an exposure / getting-used-to-it thing.
Yep, and within a few months you will find yourself accidentally typing `(if` instead of `if (` in a C-based language.
And then when you go back to a language not based on S-expressions you'll really miss them.
plus an editor with a nice paredit mode.
Having paredit makes me miss LISP when I'm not writing it. It just makes moving around and restructuring code so much easier than it is an a C-based language.
