Is Clojure dying, and what has Ruby got to do with it?

Use Emacs and optionally avail yourself of a structural editing mode like paredit. Then, at a minimum, the editor will help you match parens and you barely even have to think about them. Seriously, get over your Emacs hate (if you have any) because Emacs is to Lisp family languages what IntelliJ is to Java.

SLIME (for Emacs) is wonderful. I like Emacs, what i don't like is the key combinations, which are horrible.

Fortunately, you can redefine them. Emacs can be customized at will, and using Lisp :)

I don't hate emacs, I have however invested a lot more time and work into vim than emacs so that is why I do not use it.

I use spacemacs. before I had to have a vim plugin in every ide. But seeing the incredible power of emacs and the ease of integrating vim with it (pretty much a "pick your style" at the beginning of spacemacs installation) I'll never go back.

the only reason i didn't like spacemacs was the 3 keystroke combos for everything that I do with 2 strokes in vim.

Yea...I like the theory of emacs, but the reality of vim usage.
