I'm sure Emacs is great for those who have taken the time to master it, but it certainly isn't necessary to be productive in Clojure.
I personally use Counterclockwise - this is mainly because I also do a lot of Java work in Eclipse and it makes the polyglot integration much easier if you aren't switching tools all the time. I'm also quite excited about the potential of things like Session or Gorilla-REPL for exploratory / data science work. I like the way that the Clojure ecosystem is developing a lot of innovative, plug-able components and tools that enable different development styles. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
