Hello all.

I'm currently using Netbeans' clojure IDE and I quite like it. It has
a REPL. It highlights syntax and matches parentheses. It supports
maven and mercurial/git. It provides completion and doc for both
clojure and java. It has allows evaluation of forms from source code
to repl. It also allows me to customize keyboard shortcuts.

The other option that I've seen being popular is emacs with cake. I've
seen that cake opens two jvms, one for itself and one for project, ok,
nevermind that, no big deal, but emacs, i find, is unnecessarily
arcane compared to a modern java IDE. It's keyboard shortcuts and
combinations are based on ancient keyboards and terminals and
historical conventions, and while i can customize that and only use
what I need, netbeans already has a comfortable, modern setup out of
the box. I see that some would suggest paredit, but honestly, i don't
see that, navigating code through keyboard shortcuts, as all that much
of an advantage considering that using the mouse or the trackpad is
very convenient.

What am I missing out on? Thanks.
