Sometimes you need to spend time with an editor + repl to see the
value in something more sophisticated.
Also, I suppose sometimes you end up sticking with the editor + repl
anyway. :)

People are very opinionated about their editor/IDE. I think the Getting
+Started docs are good --- they separate:
* if you want just Emacs plus the repl, here you go (clojure-mode
readme)
* if you want Emacs + inferior-lisp, do this (this doc needs work)
* if you want Emacs + swank/slime, do this (swank-clojure readme)
and of course also info on Eclipse, Clooj, and other editors/ide's as
well.
But I certainly agree with you that screencasts/videos/tutorials for
each of those are very useful. Categorized links to such presentations
are just what wiki's are good at providing. I don't know what the
attitude is toward links like that on the confluence wiki, but I hope
they're welcomed. It's not so bad keeping links on wiki's up to date.
Now keeping full docs coherent in wikis is another matter ... :)
