Keyword args really come into their own in very large programs (the size
of Emacs or AutoCAD - would be fun to know whether AutoLisp uses them).
In systems of that size, having a few awkwardly-named arguments is par
for the course.

"cant-double-click-to-zoom" is a drop in the ocean compared to the huge
win of having a simpler core language. The awkward name you only have to
think about when using that procedure. Complex procedure call semantics
you have to think about all day, every day. It feels physically
different to code in a system like Emacs with all-nil semantics you can
rely on (reduced anxiety and reduced cognitive load - not severe of
course, but programming is an endurance sport and little things add up).
