I'd recommend anyone to do so. I have been programming professionally for almost 15 years, and never used emacs nor lisp until a month ago. I have however used a lot of other languages, and have been using vim as my main editor for the last 10 years. I tried emacs because of org-mode a month ago, and decided to use vim for writing code and emacs for managing my life, but after a few weeks, I ended up just using vim inside emacs (evil) and switching completely to emacs. Learning a bit of elisp to configure emacs, prompted me to give lisp a closer look, and now I'm full-steam-ahead learning Common Lisp and loving it!
