IDEA is an incredible development environment. I still use Emacs for some things (e.g. Perl). The Live Edit plugin is really slick (same as http://LiveReload.com for Sublime users)
I think Emacs will get a big resurgence if they ever get a better Lisp (aka Guile) integrated so they can get better performance. After all, Emacs is just a big Lisp interpreter. In theory, Emacs can do anything.
