It's unsurprising you mention sxml given that XML and s-exprs have a trivial homomorphism. With that said, I'm also not a big fan for representing relational data in XML (or sexprs).
Having a uniform representation for data isn't a big enough win to trump having data represented in a way that is more natural for me to think about.
With that said, if your brain thinks in XML (or sexprs) maybe Lisp will always work best for you.
