If your goal is to write code and treat vim as an IDE, no, it's not worth the effort. The quality of plugins is generally atrocious and when something inevitably breaks / doesn't work out of the box, it's somehow especially difficult to debug. If you want to treat hacking your text editor as a hobby, sure, it's worth it. IMO you'll get most of the day-to-day efficiencies of vim by using a vim-mode plugin in your text editor of choice. That's what I do at least and I'm happy.
