They aren't as ugly as XML ;)
This was a great read convincing me so: http://www.defmacro.org/ramblings/lisp.html
I prefer: (defun add(a b) (+ a b))
Over: <defun name="add"><params><param>a</param><param>b</param></params> <+><a></a><b></b></+></defun> (Or some variant thereof)
Any day. The article above improved my understanding and appreciation of Lisp(s) but it made me dislike Java even more than what I already had!
