So do I, and yet I use Emacs. I think there is a middle-ground. There are things worth customizing and improving, in particular the tools I work with, and there are things that I expect to "Just work"™.
Hence I use Gnome and Emacs for important workflow, such as programming, TeX, email, git, shell etc. It's and IDE, if you wish, but with more stuff since email is also part of the workflow.
