I'm not sure the desires for lightweight clojure-emacs integration and any CLJS integration are yet sympathetic. Figwheel is a pretty complex piece of software. For example, see my issue that has been languishing for almost a year and hints at greater problems with the compiler integration: https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/issues/593 . From my perspective, this is more due to coupling of the REPL to the compiler itself than a problem with figwheel.
But I was surprised when the thread went in this direction just from reasons I think someone might want to not use cider, fast startup time, less stuff to go wrong. CLJS adds that back unless it's gotten significantly better since the last time I tried.
