As the developer of Cursive, I'd like to politely disagree with this point. I think that Cursive provides a very competitive feature set but without the swearing :-). Of course I'm totally biased, so take with a grain of salt, but I think particularly for Clojure newbies it's worth a look - learning Emacs at the same time as Clojure can be a recipe for frustration. Of course, it doesn't have to be Cursive, there are other options in case Emacs gives you hives.
