  In order of popularity.

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{Emacs (The one true operating system)[use CIDER]}
  \item{Cursive (IntelliJ plugin now, standalone in the future)}
  \item{Vim (fireplace.vim seems to be the popular plugin)}
  \item{Light Table (Default clojure support?)}
  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Emacs}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{Large learning curve if you haven't used it before.}
  \item{I generally recommend heavy use of emacs if and only if you plan on customizing your own config.}
  \item{Most popular clojure IDE by a large margin.}
  \item{Not specific to clojure.}
  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Cursive}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{``Just works'', simple to setup and start using.}
  \item{May be better if you want to avoid the emacs learning curve.}
  \item{Narrowly the second most used clojure IDE over vim with fireplace.}
  \item{Not yet a 1. 0 release.}
  \item{IntelliJ is not specific to clojure.}
  \end{itemize}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Vim}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{Well supported for vim veterans.}
  \item{Would not recommend personally if you don't already know vim (learn emacs instead).}
  \item{Not specific to clojure.}
  \end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Light Table}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{Another ``just works'' kind of option.}
  \item{Don't have to install anything extra for clojure support (though you'll want a build environment).}
  \item{Not specific to clojure}
  \end{itemize}

\section{Build Environments}
\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Build environments}

  \begin{itemize}
  \item{Leiningen (98\% of clojurists use per survey)}
  \item{Boot (cool newcomer to the scene, worth trying out probably)}
