I'm using emacs just for basic text file editing, no auto-completion, no flymake, etc. I find it quite dificult to navigate between files of a project and have no time to configure emacs to work as an IDE.
You're almost certainly wasting more time by not using any IDE-ish features that you could set up than you would take setting it up.
There are lots of plugins pointed out in the wiki and such, but there's a lack of step-by-step tutorials or packages that works out of the box. I always need to search the entire web for the lines I need to punch into .emacs file.
Nowadays, with a recent-enough emacs you can do ‘M-x install-package’ which does everything for you. There's also ‘M-x customize’ which allows you to change all the various package options in an interface.
It's already hard to maintain brain's memory for other stuff, having to learn my way thru emacs was time consuming and yet if I would start a fresh-install of it, I probably would need to search the entire web again.
