I find it hard to believe that prefix notation is confusing to you after programming in Lisp for 3 years unless you have had a complete brain transplant since. Unlike you, I don't have 3 years of Lisp programming experience under my belt, I am only a causual user of Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp but prefix notation and syntax in general has never been a problem for me.
