Agreed. But the complexity cliff is at the next step, after the first demo. 
Then you really want an editor with some basic features like auto-reindentation 
and bracket matching. 

In my teaching context the REPL alone will get us through a productive first 
day of class, but not a second, while something with roughly the feature set of 
Clooj will get us through the first semester and maybe even years of serious 
work depending on what kind of work we're doing.
