And yet the #1 "FAQ" we see on lists and reflected in blog posts is
about getting Clojure up and running... We see Java developers,
committed to their favorite IDE, still asking "Should I install /
learn Emacs?" We see old-time Lispers, happy with Emacs, struggle with
the Java infrastructure. A lot of n00bs want to be told the "One True
Way" to set up their development environment - they don't want to be
confronted with choices.

Like you, I don't entirely understand why this is an issue - but I
accept that it clearly _is_ an issue...
