One way is to commit to using emacs for everything, now, and then slowly 'dig your way out'.

That is how I had to start. I just decided I would use it and be completely overwhelmed for a couple weeks. It also helps if you have a proficient Emacs use sitting nearby that so that you can constantly ask how do things.

This is how I learned Emacs, LaTeX and Linux. It works, but only if you enjoy the process of everything being broken always.
