The same way people get over any other learning curve: time, effort, and
talking to people who've already gone through the process (or reading their
books).

Knowing DrScheme doesn't make Emacs any harder to learn than it was
already, and *may* make it slightly easier.

If you're asking why anyone would want to learn Emacs when they already
know DrScheme, then that's a different question.  See Shriram's post in
this thread for some thoughts on that point.
