The question is then: what is Lisp syntax good for? I think the

This is an unfounded assertion.

In order to `move on' you are strongly implying that this vast
majority started with (or at least did substantial work with) Lisp
syntax, found it wanting in some way, and then abandoned this syntax
in favor of `something better'. There is ample evidence that this is
false.

Is English your first language?
