I used to be a heavy emacs user, but I've mostly abandoned it because I'm lazy.
It takes a fair amount of effort to keep up with new environments. If I change jobs (which isn't infrequent), I'll need to reconfigure a lot of the setup to work how I like. Packages upgrade and break.
For me, I just found the amount of effort it required to keep the environment set up nicer than, say intellij, just wasn't worth it.
Nowadays, I mostly use VS Code for a text editor, and intellij for larger codebases. I still drop down into emacs if I need to do serious text manipulation or weird git stuff, but that's about it for me.
