...it's the fear of the unknown. What if it's not as good as it looks? If you're making more money and gaining an hour and a half every day it's a no brainer.
As my mother always said: "Never love anything that can't love you back." A company is a perfect example of this. And you're absolutely correct that fear of the unknown is a factor. That isn't necessarilly a bad thing -- because the new job might have unknown deficiencies (as well as benefits). Its a cost-benefit analysis without full information, rather than a no brainer:
current job:
negative aspects (less pay; long commute)
positive aspects (friends, including among management)
new job:
negative aspects (no friends, others??)
positive aspects (more pay, short commute, others??)
The question is, do the known positives make up for the risk of the unknown negatives?
