Well, I guess it might boil down to how one "thinks"?

Some people prefer:

  2 3 + 4 *
Some other people prefer:

  (* 4 (+ 2 3))
And some other people prefer:

  (2 + 3) * 4
I personally find the last one easier to read or understand, but I have had my fair share of Common Lisp and Factor. :D

Syntax highlighting is useful for many people, including me. I can read much quicker with it, too. I know of some people who write Common Lisp without syntax highlighting though. :)
