I must second this. You can get used to it, and I did. For a while, I used Vim or ST2 + a terminal window with lein repl. As of a week or so ago, I started using Emacs with Clojure & nrepl. Aside from the occasional teething problems (still not used to the Emacs paradigm), it's amazing. Merely having the REPL in a text-editor-like buffer is a big win, and there's a bunch more that I'm still incorporating into my workflow.
