I think also, that everyone wanted to get back to the EF, but once they DID get back, it was not all that they remembered it to be. Particularly for Snow, David, and Regina (and Hook), Emma and Henry were not there, and that broken relationship colored their perceptions of the EF.

Now that they have decided to make SB their home, they can still look for ways to open a portal between the worlds, and possbily even set up a permanent portal that would allow them to travel back and forth at will. I think even Emma (who is technically from the EF in the first place), now that she has had a full taste of life in the EF, might want to go back and at least visit. Not all of her adventures in the EF were bad. (and let's face it, most of her time during both visits involved Hook).
