The best thing I found so far is clojure-box: Clojure Box is an all-in-one installer for Clojure on Windows. It's inspired by the Lispbox: you simply install and run this one thing, and you get a REPL and all the syntax highlighting and editing goodies from clojure-mode and Slime, plus all the power of Emacs under the hood at http://clojure.bighugh.com/ http://clojure.bighugh.com/
BUT it is based on emacs, and unless you're familiar with emacs, its not going to be too friendly...
Then, if you want web-apps, you'll have to get your head around ring, compojure or some other library. If you want graphics, at this stage you are kind of limited to whatever java can provide, and there is no easy IDE inspector to show you what's available / defined at any given moment...
There are many ways to get around all of these, but they all seem to require a fair bit of digging around, google-fu and whatever else is needed to make it go.
Maybe what clojure needs is a simple executable wrapper that handles the java classpath requirements, provides a simple (but extendable) IDE, provides some common sample projects like a simple web app (blog), graphics (temp converter), maybe multi-threaded (the ants.clj example) all complete with good documentation.
I know that would have made my life a bit easier...
