Clojure from a Schemer's Perspective (2021)
Yep your experience is (sadly) not even remotely unusual, and Cognitect have repeatedly demonstrated that they don’t care about this issue (which will come back to bite them as the community stagnates).
The “best” advice I have for Clojure beginners is to follow this guide: https://calva.io/get-started-with-clojure/, which will ultimately land you in a solid VSCode-based IDE environment for Clojure.
That’s not how I personally like to approach a new language mind you (REPL from the command line plz), but I’ve pretty much given up trying to get Clojure beginners started there as there are just too many moving parts that can go wrong, and unjustifiable frictions.

Janet Programming Language
You're 2 clicks away from having a fully-featured clojure environment, thanks to Calva (vscode clojure plugin) running in the browser:
- click here[0]
- click on SSO provider
More information here[1]. And of course, you might also simply use the Calva plugin with VSCode. That's a bit more than 2 clicks, maybe 5?

Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
Racket (https://racket-lang.org) has an IDE (DrRacket) which isn't EMACS. ARC (which powers hacker news) is (was?) written in Racket.

Douglas Crockford, author of ‘Javascript: the good parts’ and ‘How Javascript works’ will be giving the keynote presentation From Here To Lambda And Back Again at the thirteenth RacketCon.
Nice! Repeating a comment I just made on HN: I signed up for RacketCon, will be joining remotely. I am looking forward to it a lot. Usually I use the Racket language perhaps for 10% of my personal projects, but I am currently writing a Racket AI book, so all things Racket are of current interest. Past RacketCons have been a lot of fun. I usually use Common Lisp, but Racket is batteries included Scheme, and more, and is a very pleasant language and ecosystem. Just in case you don’t have Racket installed: https://racket-lang.org/

Ask HN: What is the most suitable Scheme implementation to learn today?
I'd suggest Racket (https://racket-lang.org) which is a batteries-included language environment that includes scheme and has a lot of high-quality documentation.
Guile (https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) isn't quite as learner-focused but is another great choice.

Setting up a Scheme coding environment in VS code?
The Racket fork of CS supports Apple Silicon natively, and can be installed independently: https://github.com/racket/racket/blob/master/racket/src/ChezScheme/BUILDING Chez adds a few features (threads, ffi, ...) to R6RS; there is a useful combined index to TSPL4 and the CS User Guide at http://cisco.github.io/ChezScheme/csug9.5/csug_1.html

Is SICP an overkill for a 14 year old?
If you're using SICP in Scheme (or are you doing the JS version?) then you may want to look at How to Design Programs. It uses Racket which is a Scheme descendent so much of the language you've learned in SICP will work in it without issue. It also has a pretty good set of GUI and drawing capabilities you can find through the Racket docs page and will use some of with HTDP.
