I use both emacs and Intellij, depending on the circumstances. There are some things for text editing that are just faster in emacs. For example, - I can be somewhere, jump around to a bunch of files, copy something, and then jump back to whereever I was last actually editing quickly (the "jump back to last edit" is 2 strokes). - I wrote a custom mode, with tabification and fontification for the query language used by the cms I work with. I expect I could do that in IntelliJ but it would take a lot more effort. - Things like kill-rectangle and the like; some of which may have parallels in IntelliJ, but I don't know then... and decades of experience in emacs means I do know them (or how to find them) there. I really like IntelliJ, but I also really like emacs. Which to use depends on what I'm doing. I also really like _make_ and wrap my other commands (mvn, gradle, etc) in Makefiles. I get jokingly mocked a lot at work :)
