   [...] but AFAICS, car and cdr are way more used than first and
   rest... the latter were half-hearted attempts at making lisp
   "friendly" but have never seemed to have gotten much traction;
   whether they're better is at best, arguable...

CAR and CDR are cool because they align vertically nicely.  I spend an
inordinate amount of time choosing sets of identifiers w/ this property.
Then, M-x zone and a drink -- cheap entertainment for the old fool...
