I somethings thought about this question as well. From personal experience people told me that they don't want to change their current IDE because they know how to use it and know all the needed shortcuts and changing would mean/feel like starting over and they didn't want that.

I changed a few IDE's as well (i never invested any energy in 'this is the best and nothing else will do'), and i felt lost and less productive at first, but quickly passed that learning curve.

I am not judging either, it's a choice, nobody has to change it if they are happy with it.
