> > For Clojure nothing beats emacs + CIDER > As a clearly biased participant here (I develop Cursive) I'd like to politely disagree with this. Lots of people are switching to Cursive from Emacs, including many that you've heard of. Obviously different strokes for different folks etc, but a lot of experienced Emacs users are finding enough additional value in Cursive (and potentially other environments, but I can't really speak to them) that they're willing to go through the pain of switching editing environments to get it. A lot of people also switch from one to the other depending on what they're doing - lein and boot provide enough of a layer that this is not painful and allows you to use the strengths of one or the other.
Obviously I'm delighted if people are happy with the tools that they're using, whatever they may be, but I do think it's time to lay to rest the myth that Emacs is the only (or unequivocally the best) environment for Clojure. That hasn't been true for a long time - there are lots of good options.
