Some folks at Apple made the same argument in favor of giving Dylan a non-Lisp syntax. In fact, I was one of them.
In hindsight, I think we were wrong. The infix syntax didn't serve its purpose of growing Dylan's user base, and it made the surface language clumsier to work with. I strongly prefer its original s-expression syntax.
