Common Lisp is too hard.

I still can't get my head around prefix notation. I heard Scheme is easier though. Seriously, why do practitioners of Lisp-like languages claim it's so good? I honestly cannot see the big deal, it's an old, slow, awkward and overall clunky language to use.

First link doesn't mention implementation language. Fabrication until further evidence is provided. I bet any money it's implemented in Java.
Also, source for the second one?
In any event, I'm still not convinced lisp-like languages are useful at all.
