I currently use Eclipse Counterclockwise and have me eye on Cursive (will
evaluate it more seriously when it is officially released).  Eclipse is
reasonably well suited for beginners working in Clojure, I think.
Certainly it has the simplest install process of any of the platforms right
now.  When I go out and do Clojure training, I start everyone on
Counterclockwise for the first few sessions, and then allow them to move to
whatever platform they want.  It is a fine choice.

The main reason I mentioned Intellij was because I didn't know whether
there was a satisfactory Python plugin for Eclipse and you said you wanted
to do all three languages on one IDE.

In my role as a tutor to bright comp sci kids, I was using Clojure for
personal use several years before I was willing to start teaching it to
kids, mainly because when Clojure first came out, emacs was pretty much the
only game in town, and I knew it wouldn't go well if I tried to teach new
programming language concepts to kids while simultaneously inflicting upon
them an alien editor that behaves completely differently from every other
editor they've ever used.  So I waited until Counterclockwise reached
sufficient maturity before incorporating Clojure into my tutoring.
