Emacs is a lifelong journey. Expecting to be great at it in a few weeks is very unrealistic.
To answer your question I spent a week reading a book on Emacs and forced myself to figure out any task rather than reaching for another editor. This was for the editing part.
For the IDE, my default is to use another IDE and as time permits I try to replicate features in Emacs - but I never have an obsession to completely replace an IDE.
Watching the system crafters YouTube channel will teach you about a lot of cool features and packages. Highly recommend it.
Monitoring the Emacs subreddit is a good source of inspiration as well.
Ultimately people use Emacs because they enjoy it - not because it is a superior IDE. If you're frustrated with Emacs, consider that it's not for you.
