There are good text editors and IDEs for LISP-like languages that will help you matching braces. It stops being a problems very quickly. Also, like in other languages, you can make the structure of your code clear by indentation (good editors/IDEs will help you with that, too, of course). Also, in C/C++/Java/C#/whatever code, you can run into the same kind of problem on a smaller scale when editing deeply nested blocks and expressions, especially when dealing with complex arithmetic/logic expressions. (I basically only use Lisp when messing with Emacs, so I would not call myself a Lisp hacker, but when learning Lisp, the braces cease to be a problem after a month at most.)
