I actually find those harder to read. Generally, because I can indent Lisp code however the heck I like, I have a pretty good idea what's going on just from looking at the structure of the code and reading a few words here and there. It's a fairly common experience for me in other languages to be scanning back and forth across a line searching for that $%^$£%£ operator rather than (in the rare event I get really lost in a Lisp file) just going, "Highlight the next s-expression up, ah that's what's going on." Or "You know what? Indent my code for me in a different way." I wonder whether there's a divide between people who understand code initially by looking at the structure and people who understand code initially by looking at the operators in terms of who likes Lisp :/
