Interesting - thanks all. My experience of Light Table is quite close to Norman's, although I discounted that *in my case* to not spending enough time with it. Knowing a little about who Sean is (from following your blog/comments/clojure.jdbc, not stalking! :)) I put a lot of weight behind his opinion. Brian's too, whose emacs's environment is similar to mine. I happen to run midge :autotest in a separate console rather than in emacs with xmonad as my desktop manager (I mention xmonad because if you haven't checked it out you should - you will love it or hate it).
Guess I just need to carve out some time to play with it myself.
