i’m always changing my computer setup, and longing to settle down into the perfect thing

i often wonder if i should either pick something (emacs and intellij are both looking pretty good for this) that is just infinitely flexible, and so "settle down" into a pattern that embraces my desire to constantly tweak my system, or if i should just decide to live with a certain set of manual annoyances, and just pick a technology that makes 90% of my use-cases easy
