I started Emacs, Paredit and Clojure all at the same time. What helped me the most was Chapter 2 from _Clojure For The Brave and True_ (https://www.braveclojure.com/basic-emacs/ https://www.braveclojure.com/basic-emacs/). Knowing that the learning curve would be steep with emacs I cut myself a lot of slack. I've since switched from Clojure to CL but kept the elisp scripts from CFBT replacing Cider with Slime. I always thought Vim got out of my way as far as text editors go but Emacs really gets out of my way. As with most things I do I learn just enough to do what it is I want to do. I don't go searching for new things until it becomes painfully obvious that a new way needs to be found. With that said I've barely touched the surface for the power of emacs, paredit and slime.
