Because lein is bloated, breaks constantly, and is absolutely overkill if all you want is a REPL and some deps from Maven.

Yea, I literally have never had a problem with leiningen breaking. All people that I know that use Leiningen are also in general very happy with it. Curious what lein-specific problems you've ran into.

Mind expanding on that? My 4-years experience using Leiningen has been great so far.

It cannot fetch jars from maven though, you still need lein for that.
