cljs-build is very good for non-interactive workflows, but I agree that the REPL situation is less than ideal. I mostly develop in a CLJ REPL and then only test in the browser with auto-refresh, in a more traditional web-app style. The browser REPL is the biggest offender, but luckily there is now https://github.com/cemerick/austin https://github.com/cemerick/austin which is a huge improvement in usability, stability, and features. Give that a try!
