Shutdown immediate will kill all connected users and rollback their uncommited changes. If you use ABORT, you leave the database in a state that will leave transactions in limbo and you will probably be facing a minor recovery upon startup. Use ABORT only when nothing else will work. If the immediate is taking a long time, it is probably cleaning up and rolling back transactions - give it some time and be patient.
