Python has one of the worst syntaxes out there

I like them both. But I only use lisp for fun.

But s-expressions give you power that other syntax doesn't. Data and code as one. Besides there is no other syntax than simply that so it becomes much easier to remember random extra things.

Whitespace on the other hand, I hate with fiber of my being.

Yes definitely. However Rust manages to become extensible and capable of constructing powerful DSLs out of it's macros without using S-expressions. But I still find them prettier than Rust's syntax.
