What kind of problems did you have?

One of the strengths of Clojure is that you can develop in the repl / notepad with essentially just jline and a valid java install.

I worked like this for a while, but have recently moved to TextMate, now I'm planning some more Clojure work.

You can do that... but it is much easier to have compile/load shortcuts, paren-match highlighting, and automatic indentation....

Although the installation doc says it uses the REPL and screen (and ruby, though that's mostly true for most tmbundles).
