No, they are not.

Well, if we are considering a novice in software development then you
are probably right. I was particularly talking about new users of
Clojure. A seasoned developer can get acquainted with Emacs pretty
easily and fast. Perhaps without the hairloss you described.

It could be, it could be not. After all I suppose the biggest part of
the Clojure community still uses Emacs and I see a constant growth of
reasons to it. CDT which I had not heard of until recently is a tool
of a great usability improvement. This means that Emacs still matters
for Clojure developers. And I don't think this is where you should
apply a strict dichotomy between the hairy dudes stuck in middle ages
with Emacs and all others who are used to common principles of Eclipse/
VS/etc. The usability is not 0 or 1, it is a ladder with lots of small
steps. The higher you get the more users you have.

However thank you for the comment, I'm still susceptible to choosing
another project.
