I guess it comes down to different strokes for different folks. It would be interesting if there was a website that quizzed you on randomly generated expressions like these, giving you S-expr forms sometimes and ALGOL/infix operator forms other times, and asking you whether the expression is true or false given a set of variable values.
Naively I would guess that I would do best on infix exprs and you would do best on s-exprs.
But I could imagine other results, like s-exprs giving me a speed disadvantage but an accuracy advantage (either because I had to read them more carefully or because they eliminate reliance on precedence rules). Or there may be other quirks, like maybe S-exprs read better for larger, multiline conditions while infix reads better on short one-liners with <= 3 operations.
It reeks of effort so I'm not going to make such a site, but I do wonder what the results would be.
