I use IntelliJ for writing Java code. Emacs can do a lot, [1] is a good 5 minute introduction, but I think I prefer a GUI-first mouse-first UI.
I use Emacs for general text editing, so for most non-Java code. I occasionally edit individual Java classes with Emacs if I have something repetitive to do, and I know an Emacs macro (F3, do things, F4 to save, F4 to run) can do it.
I use Kate when I want its nice tabbed views with a terminal at the bottom. Often this is things like moving content between 20 different documentation files.
