I also dabbled and didn't have an overwhelming Eureka moment. I do firmly believe there is one to be had though. I suspect it comes when you discover that you can bend the language to your will to solve problems in ways you couldn't have imagined, or would be very difficult in other languages. Lisp is isn't just a program language, it's a programming language toolkit more than most. The reason why I don't pursue it further is that as a language toolkit, each project evolves effectively into its own language with less portable knowledge if you were to work on a different project with a different team. [For that reason and I do like static types.] Lisp might be more comparable to Perl "there's more than one way to do it". If I were to pursue lisp, I might choose Clojure which has more 'batteries included' and an ecosystem that makes different projects perhaps share more.
