I think it's probably a function of how often you write literal
arrays.  I do things like

(defvar addrexp-folder-alist
  '(("python-dev at python\\.org"      "python-dev")
    ("@python\\.org"                "python-nec")
    ("xemacs-services at xemacs\\.org" "xemacs-services")
    ("administrators at tux\\.org"     "xemacs-services")
    ;; etc etc
   ))

all the time.  I think it's vastly more readable than

(defvar addrexp-folder-alist
  '(("python-dev at python\\.org" "python-dev")
    ("@python\\.org" "python-nec")
    ("xemacs-services at xemacs\\.org" "xemacs-services")
    ("administrators at tux\\.org" "xemacs-services")
    ;; etc etc
   ))
