I'd disagree with that. Yes, there are a lot of Emacs users in the Clojure community but I think that's the Lisp bias rather than anything else. If you're working extensively with Java (as well), you'll want to either stick to IntelliJ or look at Eclipse + CCW. Emacs is a very different beast that takes a lot of getting used to. I used it day in, day out a long, long time ago (for C programming, mostly) but when I came back to it recently as a trial because of the seeming bias toward it in the Clojure community, I had a really hard time - it was just too alien after working with Eclipse for years - and I gave up after about a week of frustration. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
