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.

Learn vim, but learn it well. Not enough people take advantage of it's macros feature. Once you've tried that, you'll never go back.

Also, while you're at it, spend some time learning i3. Then you'll be able to show your principle engineers a thing or two.
