In a continuation of my effort to make Emacs look viable ;-), Emacs
does have a GUI with menus, scrollbars and a toolbar with buttons to
accomplish the basics, and in fact I have used menus as a "major mode
discovery" tool for a while. They're on by default too.

Then again, given that CCW has paredit built-in, I'm not going to
claim Emacs is likely to be much better. (I actually find it simpler,
but if the students in question have Java classes ahead of them / in
parallel, they'll likely need an IDE anyway, so...) I wonder how much
hassle it would be to provide Enclojure with an implementation too;
perhaps I'll into this in the future.

Great! Looking forward to it. :-)
