I've used emacs for years. I've invested a great deal of time in learning it. I'm not sure it was worth it. When I think about the opportunity cost involved in internalizing the kb shortcuts, apis, tuning emacs configs, getting various plugins working together, setting up this or that language support - and on and on - that time could have been better spent learning more useful things. This feeling is especially strong when you use an IDE that does more out of the box with fresh install, than you could make emacs do after 6 months of tinkering and tuning.
