I chose to learn Vim, Emacs and other tools with a steep learning curve primarily because of their return on investment. They have great extensibility, so I can customize them exactly to my liking. I know that they won't radically change, or worse, disappear in a few years, as a lot of software does. So taking the time to learn how to use them is purely a selfish endeavor. I even put up with their quirks and shortcomings because of this, even though there might be alternatives that do feature X better, are faster, etc. Using these tools simply minimizes the chances I'll have to re-learn something else every few years. I'd rather avoid that.
One snap of the fingers in one of the many layers above us and million dollar projects succeed or fail. We are always a fancy dinner or business relation gone sour away from success or failure.
Vim or emacs come into play at layer 245 in the system and their impact on the final business reality is approximately 0,003%.
Who cares? One fire or war and a carpenter's work all comes crumbling down. Should he then not care about his work or his tools or materials and nail any old shit together? Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
Focus on what matters is my only advice. Hint: it’s not your editor.
