The bar could be set for other programs, sure. But the question was only about why we use emacs and hate emacs.

It doesn't change your point at all, but I simply have a different opinion and was asked about it. I don't really care about embedding intellij, I just want to use emacs in other things.

I do feel it is a rather personal choice. As I said, I don't care for the IDEA GUI, but I understand others do.
