Emacs is a lot to learn but I didn't find the learning curve steep. It was just the first tries I didn't get what was so good about it, IDEs seemed more powerful and professional but then it clicked and nothing else(except for vi perhaps) even compares. I find Eclipse and Netbeans ridiculous. So big and slow and they do loads of things I have no use for and then they can't do the things I have use for. And the more you learn about emacs it just gets more and more superior.
