tl;dr: why not at least *try* Counterclockwise before skipping it 'because of Eclipse'? You may find its editor with paredit shortcuts appealing. A full standalone Eclipse+Counterclockwise is available for your platform here: http://updatesite.ccw-ide.org/branch/master/master-travis000102-git75512b6843a242e2ab3c9f4057c42c884653b2ea/products/
I'm a bit sad when I read people don't want to try Counterclockwise just because they had a prior bad experience with Eclipse. Not even giving it a try, c'mon guys, please ;-) I have been working on the automation of build and delivery recently, and for instance giving it a try is as easy as: 1. download the standalone version for your OS from here: http://updatesite.ccw-ide.org/branch/master/master-travis000102-git75512b6843a242e2ab3c9f4057c42c884653b2ea/products/ (pretty stable version, stick to this link please) It's a big download, but you have everything included (Eclipse base + Counterclockwise + Leiningen + Eclipse Git ...) 2. Unzip into a directory named e.g. counterclockwise 3. Locate counterclockwise / counterclockwise.app / counterclockwise.exe depending on your platform, and start it ! Even if you still don't like the beast, some feedback on what you liked / disliked will always be appreciated since new viewpoints are generally challenging and interesting!
