This is amazing.. The greatest thing you have done ( I havent checked out the whole IDE yet ) is to reduce the whole step of setting things up down to 1 click.. The biggest gripe I had with Clojure / Cljs was the setup process.. I am not familiar with the java world and I hate setting things up before getting my hands dirty. This sir, does everything for me.

Just wow! and thank you.

In the command-line, `lein new my-project` sets everything up for you.

If you're looking for a Clojure IDE, you should check out Light Table: http://www.lighttable.com/

Although I agree that LightTable is a more polished clojure IDE, it doesn't do the one thing that ganarajpr mentioned: create lein projects for you through the UI.

Even though lein is easy to use, integration like this lowers the barrier to entry for new folks wanting to learn clojure, which is awesome.

Doesn't anyone else find it odd that command-line tools would be a barrier to entry for programmers? Sure, I see it all the time; I just don't get what people are expecting.

You stole the words in my mouth.. I am going to cry plagiarism ;)
