Erlang's syntax is not really a problem for me either. There are part of the semantics I dislike, but the syntax is not hurting me that much.
Erlang's primary problem is that it currently can't cope with the things people try to throw at it. I've seen people opt for better string handling, but string handling isn't the force of the language. It is almost domain specific as a language.
Personally, I don't think Erlang is the answer to the "multi-core-problem" either. There has to be a nicer way than threads-on-steroids ;)
