I've spend 4 years mastering vim and I can definitely say I could have spent that time better elsewhere. I'm pretty sure Emacs would be the same waste of my time. These editors have a very steep learning curves and require a lot of effort to master. Don't buy into the meme, at the end of the day they are just text editors.

It took me maybe a few hours to learn vim and I could be decently productive in it. After that I just learnt through exploration. For me it was definitely worthwhile. Vim is almost everywhere so I can easily edit text wherever I go.
