Presumably that's why some people dislike Lisp too.

Is that a valid reason? I know that personal taste plays a strong and important role but typescript is really cool.

I didn't like Lisp for a long time because of it, I've since given up and tried Lisp. My friends don't care for Lisp probably because of that as well.

I could get over the parentheses but CAR and CDR instead of HEAD / TAIL or FIRST / REST annoy the crap out of me.

Perfectly valid. If it's difficult to read, it's difficult to use.
