I've tried IntelliJ several times and just can't on with the way it operates. Clearly a very personal thing. I used to use Eclipse a lot - a background in languages where Eclipse support was typically better than other IDEs at the time I got started with them - but it is really bloated and trying to use it on a low-powered Ubuntu netbook was the final straw for me, which is a shame because I think Counter ClockWise is an excellent plugin and Eclipse overall fitted my workflow better than anything else (a few years back). I used Emacs a lot in the 17/18/19 days (I caught the tail end of 17, all of 18, and stopped using it just after 19 appeared). Back then, it was "the business" (I was mostly a C developer back then). More on Emacs below. LightTable is indeed very, very interesting. I am trying to use it exclusively one day a week for all that day's work, but the lack of Git integration drives me bonkers (I know there will be a plugin for it in time). I also haven't quite figured out my REPL-based workflow in LT. When I started doing Clojure, I used TextMate so it was an obvious choice to try Sublime Text 2. I tried it on Mac, Windows, and Linux and it drove me insane with its quirks, bugs, inconsistencies across platforms and (at the time) very poor REPL integration. I know it's gotten better but I just found it clunky and the workflow felt hacked together. That said, three of my team love ST2. In October 2011, I decided to give Emacs another chance - specifically for Clojure development - and that's what I use day-in, day-out. I have a slightly customized setup but it really doesn't have much beyond the starter kit, rainbow delimiters and autocompletion added. It has a huge learning curve (nay, a _cliff_!) but it is hands down the best Clojure environment (in my opinion - and about 70% of all Clojure developers surveyed, according to Chas's surveys). Coming back to Emacs after about a 20 year break(!), I was surprised to see it had only advanced to version 24 (in fact, back in October 2011, 24 was only a preview build), and it took a fair bit of getting used to (again). Since then, two of my team have also switched full-time from ST2 to Emacs. The third does a lot of front end web dev and finds ST2 easier to work with - but I suspect when she starts doing Clojure / ClojureScript work, she'll switch too. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
