Incedentally I also use Emacs for editing lisp. (emacs lisp and Clojure.) Learning the hotkeys/concepts behind structural editing of lisp code was life changing metamorphasis, but quite difficult overall. There's been some fantastic work done by the Parinfer [1] team to bring the awesomeness of structural editing of lisp to the masses. The basic idea is that your parenthesis should infer where they belong by way of your indentation. I installed Parinfer it on my project: CLJSFiddle[2], and it's not what I'm used to and doesn't have everything but for a novice it is highly usable - check it out!
