I use them both. They are very different beasts. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. They have different trade offs. In Clojure I miss the preemptive VM support for the Erlang "processes", the pattern matching and the elegance of the pid mailboxes. In Erlang I miss the fantastic built in data structures, the platform reach (targeting the browser for example), the syntax (refactoring clojure is a dream), macros, the REPL, the tooling, the time constructs (refs, agents, atoms) and a bunch off more esoteric stuff. (I don't miss core.async cause Erlangs processes are much better). I tend to use Clojure by default and Erlang when the problem particularly suits it.
