Only if the environment you're familiar with is good enough.  
When I switched to UNIX, the environment I was most familiar with was IBM TSO,
and ANYTHING was better than that, except punch cards which I also knew well.

(Unfortunately, vi is "good enough", so I stil haven't switched to EMACS,
in spite of its obvious superiorities. :-)
Marcus goes on to say good things about using toolkits to make the
new environment emulate the old one when possible.

Government is like an elephant on drugs: It's very confused, makes lots of noise,
can't do anything well, stomps on anyone in its way, and it sure eats a lot.
