> Is it worth putting the effort to learn now?

As a big emacs guy, I say it's only worth putting in the effort if you really enjoy the process of crafting a tool that fits the shape of your mind and bending your mind to fit the shape a tool. I personally get a lot of pleasure out of improving my text editor, but I don't think most people will/do.

Depending on your choice of IDE and your proficiency with vim I think the efficiency gains you'd get from switching to emacs will be relatively slight.
