Like others all of my Clojure code was in namespaces so I see it as a wash between the two. In practice I cannot imagine any real app not making use of such modularity.

I too found the "." syntax for anonymous functions a bit jarring at first. Why treat them differently? In practice I don't even notice it now. It's never been confusing, it's just a wart.

Also, I found the one-struct-per-module thing a bit odd to begin with but in practice it makes a lot of sense. Also since you can put modules inside modules it's no encumberance if you want to declare a number of related structs. Again, once I was used to it I apprecitated the simplicity.

I disagree with your characterisation: I perceive no "class-based"'ness about Elixir. Do you have some examples? Perhaps there is somethign I have missed. So far, given that it's not exposing a class based system underneath, Elixir has seemed even further from this than Clojure.

And I have, in general, found the tooling support friendlier for Elixir. The only thing that I really gripe about is the inability to communicate between editor and REPL.

My “impression” of class based comes from the usage that defrecord was to be inside a defmodule only; not as free floating records.

About the tooling definitely yes. Elixir is pretty pretty good; at compile, build and employ time.
