Try spacemacs. https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/

It's an emacs configuration meant to be a hybrid of the best in emacs and vim. I'm a vim user of several years, and am just beginning to do some clojure development of my own, so I recently made the switch.

There's definitely a learning curve, but it's much, much less involved then learning either emacs or vim on their own. And you get to keep the vim editing style.

A couple of things to get used to:

- Space for the leader (it's actually great).

- Escape mostly stops things, but not always. Ctrl-g is a safer option.

- q closes many popup windows.

- Using lisp to do everything in the config file (.spacemacs)

The docs are a good place to start. Also C-h will bring up an extensive help menu.

You'll want to add the clojure layer to your .spacemacs, as one of the dotspacemacs-configuration-layers.
