Checking out a project your project depend on, finding the right version, etc. is quite cumbersome.
With Emacs/nrepl, you can just press M-. over any function to jump to the definition, even when it's inside a jar. You can also edit and reload it (via C-c C-c). I don't think you can save it, but that isn't necessary to reload the function/namespace. Cider can re-evaluate a whole buffer or region in the buffer without the need to save it.
