Same. I used to swear by Intellij but they just kept on changing things, and even breaking things on me the odd time.

This latest emacs upgrade has been seamless and hasn't required any cognitive overhead to transition.

That said, I'll always be back to IntelliJ for heavy edits. There's nothing better for Java.

I find for less structured languages the less-structured approach engendered by emacs is an advantage.

emacs has a couple of packages working to implement the editor side of the language server protocol, so it's probably not long until it's at rough feature parity for structured editing of languages with rich semantics.
