Having now setup an Emacs-bsaed dev environment on XP and multiple Windows 8 machines, I no longer think it's as difficult as some people make it out to be. Leiningen 2 has a reasonably well-maintained Windows batch file so that problem is solved. The initial install is: * lein.bat (a single download plus adding to your path) * either: * install wget or curl and run lein self-install * download the JAR manually and move it to the correct .lein folder
For an overall improved experience on Windows, I've taken to installing GOW - Gnu on Windows - https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki - which provides curl and wget and a bunch of other useful stuff, thus making lein self-install the easier option. For an IDE / editor, you have several choices: Emacs 24.x is as easy to install and setup on Windows IMO as on Mac or Linux now; as Laurent says, you have Eclipse + CCW; you also have LightTable. I don't imagine Windows 7 to be any more difficult than XP or Windows 8.
