I've been doing all of my Clojure work in Vim. VimClojure [1] was great, but fireplace [2] has been a game changer for me. It might not look like much, but the REPL really feels tightly integrated into the editor. I actually never touch the REPL directly anymore (except for restarting it from times to times): cpb evaluates the current form (and shows the result at the bottom of the screen), cpp the current top-level form, and c!! replaces the current top-level form with its evaluation right into the editor. There are also other shortcuts to macroexpand, show source, show doc, go to source (including inside required jars), etc. I also get auto-completion with docs and so on.
All in all, I feel very productive and very much connected to my code - like I'm actually interacting with it rather than just writing it. The limit between REPL and editor is blurry. I keep meaning to look at Emacs to check what it has that is so much better in terms of integration, but so far I have not found the time. I did try LightTable in the early days and was not very much convinced, but we're talking somewhere around 0.2 here so I guess I'll check it again in the near future. Disclaimer: I was already using Vim before I learned Clojure. I started editing Clojure with a simple tslime-based workflow [3], then moved on to VimClojure and now to fireplace.
