Try spacemacs everyone, it's incredible, and the cider repl for clojure is the real deal. I was a long time vim user who tried to switch to emacs for a month but abandoned it for intelli j, and then atom for while. The spacebar mechanism to trigger the top level navigation that you drill into is an amazing mechanism for memorizing key short cuts (or not remembering and being able to use the menu to get what you need). spc p f inside a project has changed my life, I can't go back to a tree directory for navigation. Frees a lot of my working memory up.

Kind of a rant and off topic, but I think it's the bees knees and it's ace for clojure / common lisp / javascript / flow / anything else.
