First of all, I appreciate your comment.
I haven't decided if I will try to learn Vim or Emacs, yet. I'm still in a previous phase: should I prioritize improving my command line/terminal editors skills or mastering the Jetbrains set of IDEs?
I know that you can use both Emacs and Vim bindings on Intellij IDEA (and on many other programs). However, at this point I really can't take both (Emacs and an IDE), because I'm a beginner and I can't learn everything at the same time.
But I take your advice. I have to admit that I was a bit biased against Emacs, but if follow the "terminal way", I will definitely give it a try.

Learning both Emacs and IntelliJ along side the command line allows each process to inform the other. Not learning Emacs and the command line does not mean that you will learn IntelliJ much more deeply or quickly. It's going to take considerable time no matter what. Learning other things along side it will provide context for judging what IntelliJ offers.
- skdotdan 10y agoThat's very true. It was just a fancy assumption that I did.
