Anyone tried this? In the 1980s, the Coral Common Lisp system (precursor to Macintosh Common Lisp, which this IDE is derived from) was a gift from heaven. It was so good that after I ported the ISI Grapher to CCL, I immediately gave my old Lisp Machine to someone else at SAIC who wanted it.

I'm downloading MCLIDE now, but it would be good to hear some reviews before I take the time to set it up. For me the issue is that Emacs + either SLIME or the Scheme minor mode is very good for development.

I just tried it with Clozure CL. Seems to work fine, but I am going to stick with Emacs+SLIME with colored fonts, etc.
My mistake, there is a plugin for colored/styled fonts.

Also, as someone kindly pointed out in an email: http://www.clairvaux.org/ColorCoded.html

MCLIDE does support Color Coded Styling (see the plug-in in the bundle contents).
