I don't know if that generator sucks. It's selling buyers what they
want. Programmer get money, user doesn't have to type a parenthesis,
everybody's happy.

"you *don't need to know* anything about LISP programming to use it!
With the LISP Generator, you will *finally* be able to take advantage of
AutoCAD's..."

I take that to mean one less use-case for Lisp. And a BIG ONE, more so
than Emacs ever was. You don't need to learn Lisp nor hire some old
Lisper. Just use the generator and hope you don't lose the high level
source or else you're screwed with generated Lisp... :P

and whatever happened with AutoCAD Visual Basic? Things going as bad in
education as they go, perhaps some autogenerated VB too will be needed
down the road... :P
