I actually wrote the initial release of Nightcode with Vim. I definitely don't expect many seasoned Vim/Emacs users to switch any time soon. I intended Nightcode to be a great "ready-made" way of getting started with Clojure, because it has everything you need built in. That's not to say advanced users can't find it useful, though. I now work on Nightcode using Nightcode itself, as a way of dog-fooding my own software.
Quick question as a guy learning Clojure currently:
I'm using LightTable right now, and thoroughly enjoying the Clojure experience. Can you explain what you see are the key differences in Nightcode vs. LightTable? I'm curious, because I would love to hear the thoughts of Nightcode's creator on this. I'm planning on giving Nightcode a try tonight.
I think Light Table is more innovative, while Nightcode has a more "all-in-one" experience, bundling its own copy of Leiningen along with a few of its plugins for ClojureScript and Android development. Additionally, if it matters to you, Nightcode is free software (public domain), supports paredit mode, supports Java, and is entirely JVM-based rather than browser-based.
