When you're buying into a languague, you're also buying into the ecosystem, and if the ecosystem elected it's tools, and it's optimizing it's workflow towards those, then that's what it is. You either buy the whole package (leiningen specifically, I'm not sure what's the editor problem you mention), or you don't.

Many, if not most, ecosystems have some kind of sweet spot where you find more support. You don't have to buy the whole ecosystem, but the more you stray the less community overlap you'll find.
