You could keep using your current IDE and use Emacs for the simpler tasks while you are learning it at whatever pace is convenient for you. I am a new Emacs user. I decided to give it a try about ten days ago, so I followed the built-in tutorial, read a bit about minor and major modes, buffers, global and buffer-local variables and it started making sense. The online documentation is extensive and the built-in documentation system is very easy to use.
