    <p>If you're used to Visual Studio and want a similar product for Lisp, the equivalent is probably going to be a similar commercial IDE. The big ones I know of are <a href="http://www.franz.com/products/allegro-common-lisp/" rel="noreferrer">Allegro</a> and <a href="http://www.lispworks.com/products/lispworks.html" rel="noreferrer">Lispworks</a>.</p> <p>I've not personally used either one for real work (i.e., a big project), though I've tried demos. They seemed nice enough, if a bit complex and with weird UIs, but not so much better than Slime to be worth the money to me. But if you want something like VS, they may be just what you're looking for.</p> <p>FWIW, I do both C# and Common Lisp in Emacs, and I find Slime to be 10 times better than any set of modes I've found for editing C# so far. Come to think of it, I don't know of any development environment for any language or platform I'd rather use -- it's that good.</p> <p>One issue you may have is that Lisp itself is a different enough language than what you're used to that old ways of doing things no longer apply, so <em>any</em> IDE may seem "backwards" to you. (I learned Lisp long before C#, and C# seems backwards and dated to me!) So instead of learning a few Slime commands (there's not many you really need), you're learning IDE commands, which might not really be any easier for you, since the concepts are the same and don't necessarily map to VS-like IDE features.</p> <p>But good luck with whatever you choose!</p>
