Talk:Learning Clojure/Coding Conventions

If recommending Emacs the best option here? I'm a fan - now. But for first time Lispers in the Clojure realm perhaps NightCode or LightTable would be a better starting point? (I know several people who have been put off, somewhat, from learning Clojure because they had to grapple with Emacs at the same time. I was for some time until I discovered 'cua-mode'.)
