Try LW for a while with this feature and you will not find yourself confused that much. Remember that very many people fined "parentheses" confusing.
and a lot of people avoid lisp. but there's not much useful information in any of these statements...
i'm a newcomer to lisp (~5 months) and within days i was confortable with all those parens and in about a month i was confortable with emacs and the whole way of developing with lisp.
of course if one does not start by setting up paredit and emacs in general then the picture may be different...
