IMO, It's an obstacle only to people who don't use IDEs.
Someone who uses e.g. visual studio for C++ isn't going to balk at the suggestion of installing IntelliJ for Java, and I doubt that they would balk at the suggestion of installing SLIME for lisp.
In my experience it's people who live in their editor (sublime, vim, &c.) that balk at the idea of installing an IDE as the first step for using a new language.
