With the caveat that I've not used Eclipse or IntelliJ for Clojure development… 
one thing that I _really_ like about Emacs is that it's lightweight. I prefer 
an "editor" over a full-blown IDE. Personal preference, I'm aware. But having 
used other IDEs, they've tended to be resource hogs and ultimately just start 
acting a bit sluggish.

I can have Emacs open with multiple buffers, multiple windows, IRC, git 
integration… a "one-stop shop", and at the moment it's using < 200MB of RAM.

I'm not sure if that would be considered a "feature" or not, but to me it's a 
huge selling point.

(Apologies if this is getting somewhat off of the main topic of whether or not 
IntelliJ is a good idea for Clojure development, but if we're weighing 
perceived pros and cons of various options, this is still somewhat on-topic) :)
