The thing you use daily will always be the most familiar. I’ve gone from your position, to the opposite; now the switching-costs of moving away from Emacs to an IDE put me off.
There do have to be real benefits to make it work. For me it was some very specific things I wanted to do for data analysis that weren’t possible in an IDE at the time, and the other benefits (org-mode, tramp etc.) just sort of compounded.
It’s certainly been a process though. And I wouldn’t have got here if I didn’t find fiddling with editors an enjoyable thing to do, while waiting for a database-query/drinking-buddy-to-leave-work/partner’s-Netflix-binge-to-conclude etc.
