Hey Benjamin,
Thanks for the tips !! Have no fears about my passion for vim :) I'm actually using vimclojure now, and it has fabulous command completions for clojure functions, which I love. I did get the nailgun server setup, and connected. But 1) there's a lot of gymnastics involved in getting it running (although it is quite nice, once your setup is going). The one thing that I crave is that debugging integration. It's actually a limitation of vim, not nailgun - either vim's lack of threads, or it's communication channel does not allow for these kinds of symbols to go both ways (you can just send from ng-client). But I still used, and will continue to use vim for most tasks (I much prefer it's navigation to emacs'). The first main carrot pulling me to try emacs now is 'evil' <http://gitorious.org/evil/pages/Home>, emac's newest vim plugin. The wrinkles are fast being ironed out, and it does the basic navigation and editing that I expect from a vim. I'm actually eager to see how much .vimrc settings I can get into 'evil'. So the other emacs carrot for me, is that swank / slime debugging integration. It looks quite handy, and I'm keen on tools that can get me closer to the code, reducing my time to develop.
