This is bound to come up every now and then. Graham Glass writes:
LISP was an incredible work of art. so simple and so reflexive. but an absolutely crap syntax that doomed it.
In response, he got some of the expected "stupid, the syntax is what makes Lisp so powerful" comments (which I'll not link to), and some interesting ones (see his comments page). This debate comes every often, with Lisp gurus telling everybody else not to worry about the syntax and that they'll get used to it, and everybody else saying how they like Lisp, except for its syntax.
Come to think of it, not unlike the RDF scene (see what Joe, Tim, and yours truly had to say about that one).
