Without starting a flame war - how are you finding LightTable for production? Moving away from emacs and paredit would be quite hard and every time I look at LightTable I get really excited until I actually download and try it... That is almost certainly because I don't have the time to invest in learning it and I expect it to do everything out of the box immediately and just the way I like it :)
