I'd build it in a heartbeat if I thought there was any money in it. I really like Emacs/SLIME but the IDE story can be far better with integrated graphics and sound, FFI wrappers to system libraries, and built-in package management.
Unfortunately the Lisp meetups I go to are sparsely populated for a big city and they mostly talk about other languages; sometimes Clojure gets mentioned but hardly anyone uses Common Lisp. The whole, "not modern," thing seems to turn people off.
Are there even more than a couple hundred commercial Lisp users?
edit: I mean "build it," as in "build the Haskell for Mac" equivalent for CL. Something affordable and meant to be a tool; not a Lispworks or Clozure competitor.
