vim-foreplay does indeed work fine and I can only recommend it. I have been using vim for a long time and while I wouldn't consider myself an expert I am still very used to its "vocabulary" and miss its feel dearly whenever I use something else. I've tried Emacs (with evil), because I perceived that the Clojure community was strongly biased in its favour, but switched back eventually because I was working much more productively in vim. I am quite happy with the recent developments (foreplay, vimclojure-static) that was/is being driven by gifted plugin developers and it certainly wouldn't be a bad idea for you to use it. I think it should be mentioned that Emacs is probably the editor with the larger number of users in the Clojure community, which leads to a wider variety of packages being available for it. It might make sense to switch Emacs if Clojure integration and availability of third-party packages is your /only/ concern.
