Never used Cake, but Lein works great. Emacs is all about customization - something bothers you? Just change it
The standard keybindings are extremely bad, change them. I use this one: http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html Just ignore the controversy around the guy, the bindings are well reasoned. If you are going to use Emacs you must learn the keybindings, else a standard ide is a better choice. When writing code you are spending a surprising amount of time on navigation and copy/paste. It's well worth it in the end and your mouse arm will thank you. 2011/6/18 James Keats <james.w.ke...@gmail.com> > Hello all. > > I'm currently using Netbeans' clojure IDE and I quite like it.
