I too had a similar experience.  Often when writing code I don't even produce 
it in
the LISP form but more like a freehand drawing, and then, if the idea turned out
to be valid, correct the syntax and put in the parenthesis.  Paren matching 
helps
me to do it without any effort by showing which parens are complimentary and,
more importantly, without getting in the way.

Having said that, paredit can be a great tool depending on your editing habits.
One should definitely try it to see if it works for him, but saying it is a 
panacea
for balancing parens/braces is a bit for stretch as other tools solve this 
problem
as well.
