At university I learned that lexical binding would be more intuitive to
understand, but harder to implement.  I thought I was special because I
always found dynamic binding more intuitive.  I thought it was because I
learned Lisp mostly by using Emacs, at a time where lexical binding was
only available using a strange thing called `lexical-let' (AFAIR you had
to require cl to use it).

But it seems that dynamic binding is the more intuitive scoping rule for
a lot of people.  And a lot have their problems with lexical binding and
closures.
