Try spacemacs everyone, it's incredible, and the cider repl for clojure is the real deal. I was a long time vim user who tried to switch to emacs for a month but abandoned it for intelli j, and then atom for while. The spacebar mechanism to trigger the top level navigation that you drill into is an amazing mechanism for memorizing key short cuts (or not remembering and being able to use the menu to get what you need). spc p f inside a project has changed my life, I can't go back to a tree directory for navigation. Frees a lot of my working memory up.
Kind of a rant and off topic, but I think it's the bees knees and it's ace for clojure / common lisp / javascript / flow / anything else.
I use Spacemacs for Clojure at the moment and I quite enjoy it. My only problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a newline in the repl without submitting the line for evaluation (I want to be able to structure a function definition for readability, for example, rather than having to have a single huge line).
I did also have to stop smart-parens from auto-closing backticks, but that was a simple fix.
