I tried to like lisp, it just doesn't fit with my brain, dunno why. I tried to like emacs and it doesn't fit either. I'm a C/sh/vi sort of guy. I like troff, don't care for LaTex. Some stuff just works better for me, working in C comes very naturally to me, working in lisp was always a struggle. I think if I had done more compiler work I'd like lisp better, I've been told that making an AST in lisp is trivial and it is work in C. I get your point about small and knowable, I love stuff like that.
