Haha, well, it does seem ridiculous at first.
Of course, the truth is there is really "no syntax" outside of parenthesis. What you see is what you get. You never have order of operation problems, etc.
It's really just a visual parse tree of a program, and after a while the traditional syntax of other languages just seems clunky and poorly designed.
Granted, prefix notation is still harder to read than infix, although I imagine that might change with time and exposure.
