Thanks for all the comments, everyone. It seems like there's some interest, anyway. Most of the features people are asking for are either already there or close.
There are some interesting questions here, as well. I think it would be important to have free access for people to try it out - maybe a free open source license that doesn't allow commercial work and reminds you occasionally? Something like that. I've also toyed with the idea of making the source open to licensees, or some combination like a private core and a public part as Laurent suggests. Tool interoperability is an interesting question - it seems like something of a holy grail that's never been properly achieved. I know Google have an internal project working on something like this but as far as I know it's really gone nowhere. I'd love to help achieve it, but it's difficult - IntelliJ works in a fairly different way to other editors internally (perhaps more like Eclipse, not sure) since it parses the code and creates an AST, it's not working directly with text. This is what makes it great, of course, but it hampers integration of other tools. However this allows all the magic - for example, La Clojure autocompletes and supports full navigation without having a REPL running.
