Just a generic expression of mild surprise.

Ah, but that presumes someone already using Eclipse. In the
hypothetical instance of a Clojure developer contemplating switching
from NB, or IDEA, or just starting out and not yet using *any* IDE,
that developer will want to read some introductory information and get
a feel for CCW (from an end-user-of-CCW perspective, not a
developer-of-CCW perspective) before bothering to install Eclipse. IF
they decide CCW's worth trying, THEN they'll install BOTH.

So, the "market place" addresses "how do I get and install the CCW
binary?" from pre-existing Eclipse users; but not "where do I get more
information on which to base a decision among multiple IDEs/plugins?"
from non-Eclipse users. (Eclipse users can, from the sounds of it,
fairly painlessly install CCW and test-drive it, IF that is it is free
in that "market place" rather than paid.)

You're welcome.
