Silly Parens are easier to parse. Automated manipulation of programs might be fairly easy to accomplish.
If there were Lisp-style Macros available, that would beat the pants off the C Preprocessor for boilerplate.

I thought silly parentheses are just as easy to parse as in an imperative language like C. Are you referring to the Polish prefix form being easy to parse?
I should have explained myself more clearly, I thought that the operator appearing at the beginning of the list means that operator precedence is no longer relevant. With infix operators the precedence is important.
What actually makes lisps easy to parse is a near complete absence of syntax; particularly structures/constructs that require considerable effort to disambiguate.
