Hi,
I haven't tried IntelliJ but Emacs, Netbeans, Eclipse.

What I have found:

Emacs:
If you are on windows don't use emacs unless you are happy with the absolute 
are minimum or have a lot of time on your hand to dig out every single screw to 
tweak. Generally it is more work especially if you are not a emacs guru already 
- so on *nix it is very neat since it lets you use your own tools like lein or 
git or whatever without too much interfering. Again if something changes you've 
a lot of work ahead of you (Took me a day to get everything to run with 1.2 and 
it still is throwing problems - so I guess that is only part emac's fault since 
my incompetence is to blame here ;).

Netbeans/Eclipse:
I put them together for the start since they are very much the same. Neither 
plugins gave me the same stability as emacs, they force you to use their 
project setup (perhaps you can change it bit again it means extra work). It is 
good that you can use them on about any platform with the same look&feel - 
sadly I'm tied to windows at work. the newer netbeans plugin forces you to use 
maven which made me cry and try out eclipse then I noticed that since I already 
had the silly pom file it was easyer to use it them shoving my dependencies 
down it's throat all by myself. 

In the end I ended using eclipse & ccw on windows since it feelt the best 
there, emacs and eclipse on my mac. But all in all I found none a really 
pleasant experience but rather felt like the entire IDE's force me to do things 
their way (which they perfectly manage to choose entirely differently) instead 
of letting me do my work, so once you resign and give up on having things to 
just work and accept to do it the EMACS/Eclipse/Netbeans way they are all 
bearable.

I hope you much luck so ;),
Heinz
