I think it's because the language appears to be very complex. So much syntax, context, and novel terminology. It appears that Perl 6 lets you be very clever and can save you some keystrokes. But I don't want to be clever, and am willing to type a few extra keystrokes if it makes things easier for me to understand the next time I look at my code.
