Just throwing out an opinion: I think that an Edwin-like experience with Emacs would be perfectly fine for newcomers to programming. That might be achievable at the cost of preparing a default configuration before the course starts and maybe packaging it with a default version of Emacs that everyone could use. It shouldn't be too much of an effort to prepare one if you're willing to keep it very basic (as you probably will be, if I understand your goals correctly). You could even spend some time (or have your TAs spend it) on a Q&A session to address any Emacs configuration issues after, say, the first week. The key here is that SLIME -- should it prove too hard to maintain a reliable cross-platform configuration -- is not necessary; inferior-lisp will probably do. Once again, just my €.02; and I'd absolutely wish to see easier setup experience across the board, in all major IDEs & editors.
