Sorta. PG got it spot on in his article on Blub. The Blub programmer doesn't see Lisp as being more powerful than Blub, he sees it as being equally powerful, only with too many parentheses and maybe some extra features. But he doesn't need those extra features, he's a skilled Blub programmer, and once he learns the Lisp equivalents of his favorite Blub function calls (etc.) he'll happily carry on writing Blub code in Lisp syntax. And that's only if you force him to use Lisp, because he still thinks there's too many parentheses, and anyway Lisp doesn't have an XML-driven build engine like Blub does.
