NetBeans w/ Enclosure -
Could get a REPL, couldn't figure out how to do anything else.  Result
- uninstalled.

IntelliJ w/ La Clojure -
Could get a REPL, couldn't figure out how to do anything else.  In
particular, I followed some specific instructions from somewhere
(can't remember where) for how to set up a project, edit a source file
(hello world or whatever), and "run" that source file.  All I got was
some kind of error.  Result - uninstalled.

Configuring already-owned version of Emacs -
Followed varying instructions from various websites and how-to's -
mostly using elpa to download this and that.  Used elpa, but could
never successfully get anything to work afterwards.  Result - kept the
install for other projects I am using Emacs for.

Clojure Box -
Could get a REPL, couldn't figure out how to do anything else (i.e.
Leinegen blah blah).  Result - kept the install, as this was the 2nd
most promising solution tried thus far.

ClojureW -
So far, this is the only thing that "just works" for me.  Just
download, add the path to the bin directory, DONE.  Can get a REPL,
but more importantly, can easily "run" a source file by doing "clj
sourcefile."  The only thing that didn't work was the jline thing
(tried clj -jl per the instructions, and also clj -jline just for the
heck of it, both fail).

ClojureW UPDATE:  Out of the blue, tried clj jline and that seemed to
work as far as running this jline thing.  In other words, it didn't
give an error, and when I hit the up arrow, it shows historical
commands.  To run a file like this (although in hindsight, I don't
know what that gives you), do: clj cljfile.clj jline

I guess the optimum solution I see for myself at this point is getting
Clojure Box to talk to ClojureW (i.e. editing a source file with
Clojure Box, then "running" that source inside some Emacs window by
running clj).  I'm guessing this would be trivial for the Emacs
experts out there, but if someone wants to point me to a quick
resource on it, I'll try it.

For the time being, my personal suggestion to any newbs coming along
is to try ClojureW:

https://bitbucket.org/kasim/clojurew

Perhaps the link should be posted more prominently somewhere, if it
isn't already?  A further suggestion - perhaps Clojure Box could be
rigged to use ClojureW "out of the box."  This would give a working
IDE by simply downloading the package and running it.
