What is nicer syntax-wise in Red/REBOL compared to Lisp is the slightly lower number of brackets and nesting. And the C-style formatting of brackets -- with closing brackets aligned with their counterparts. It is a little more verbose, but easier to read.
Plus the square brackets are easier to type than the round ones.
Overall the design of REBOLs is pretty interesting and IMO somewhat reminiscent of Tcl. Both are certainly good inspirations for minimalist language designers.
