Worth learning vim/emacs? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it's worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.

I can personally recommend learning to work with some kind of modal editor, whether that is vim or one of the more modern alternatives like neovim or helix.
