But, you wouldn't have to download anything to develop F# with emacs, because caml-mode is already there. Also, as much as Slime and and whatnot add to Clojure development, you don't need them. The lisp modes and inferior-lisp repl that ship with emacs work pretty darn well.

You wouldn't have to download anything? You mean emacs comes stock with a F# compiler? My point is that with a single download (and no real installation besides a single click), you can get a new environment up and running in Visual Studio. I'm not saying VS is the world's greatest IDE (I use it strictly for .NET work, and use gVIM for everything else--and use, I've used emacs, too). I'm merely talking about it in the context of the ease of integrating new languages/frameworks.
