I started with visual studio in the late 1990s. Didn’t try Emacs until 2005 when I started using SLIME for Common Lisp. Committed myself to doing some projects in Common Lisp, and insofar as SLIME is head and shoulders better than anything else for that, it forced me to learn the environment.
After leaving programming entirely for a decade I can back to Emacs recently when I discovered pdf-tools and Org mode. Took only a bit of time to get reacclimatize this time. It’s all muscle memory. You just have to force yourself to do real work with it so you exercise the muscles.
