Quite a few people write deeply nested code for some reason unless you tell them not to. Maybe it depends on how your brain works. There is surprising variance within the human population.
I find deeply nested code ugly and unreadable, others nest eight levels deep and love it. Some people even claim they find parentheses soup (LISP-like syntax) readable. Personally, I cannot comprehend that.
I find Lisp-like syntax highly readable - more readable than C-like syntax for sure.
I find that anything more verbose (EDIT: I'm having difficulty thinking of the right word for what I mean here - hopefully you understand anyway) is useful while you're writing the code, but actually increases the difficulty and length of time to understand what's going on when you come back to it.
Symbolic representations of relationships - including parentheses among many others - just make more instant sense to me. To the extent that a characterisation of the Lisp family as "parenthesis soup" just does not make sense to me -- it implies an arbitrary jumble of symbols, while for me, as none of the parentheses could possibly be moved, they're in a perfect and immovable pattern.
I'll admit, though, that without [ and ] I would sometimes be more than a little lost.
I think I might enjoy an APL-like language if I ever had time to learn it...
