Another perspective: those who stick with it view their tools as a long term investment. I have noticed that those who drift from editor to editor tend to use a subset of their features for a subset of their work. Only a handful will become proficient in its use and use it for a broad range of applications.

In a professional context I'm known for telling people "we don't care what editor you use, but it's where you're going to spend most of your working career, so there's a lot of payoff to picking one and obsessing over it." (Of course, I also recommend people learn to touch type...)
