I think LightTable is a good choice for Clojure beginners, certainly it's much more approachable than Emacs. Other options you might consider are Cursive (based on IntelliJ, at http://cursiveclojure.com) or CounterClockwise (based on Eclipse, at https://code.google.com/p/counterclockwise) which are both pretty newbie-friendly and work much more like "standard" applications than Emacs.
Standard disclaimer: I develop Cursive.
