When McCarthy was first working on Lisp he intended to migrate to an infix syntax (called m-expressions), but abandoned the effort because everyone came to really like the current syntax (s-expressions) after they got used to it. I know it's really hard to see how. (And honestly it's sometimes a little hard for me to see what the big deal is, but one of my first programming languages was a dialect of lisp so I can barely even remember not being comfortable with them.) But many people find that, once they get used to them, and especially if they learn to use an editor with a paredit mode, they can start to feel even easier to work with than infix syntax.
