For what it's worth: I really don't care to tell people what editor to use. But I do think that everyone should think about spending some time with vimtutor. Not because it will turn you into a 10x developer, or because vim has the best keybindings ever, or anything like that. I've never bought it. But I do believe that it is very likely to make your life easier, even if you don't actually use vim.
Let me explain: I've been an emacs person for decades now. I was never super committed to it, though. In practice, I'll use whatever editor has the best plugin for the language I'm working in. Which means that, for the longest time, I had to try and keep track of 4 or 5 different sets of editor keyboard commands. Which is too damn much for one brain, so I found that, over time, I stopped being as efficient in any editor as I was in emacs 25 years ago.
So why vim? Because every editor worth its salt has an option to use vim keybindings. So you don't have to learn 4, 5, 6 different sets of editor commands. You can learn one, and learn it well.

I'm not sure about this. For instance, I'm typing this message in a text box in my browser and I don't have access to vim keybindings. There are many cases where this happens (other example: google docs).
I do use vim whenever I can, but I'd say the most useful keybindings that one can learn are the ones from the OS.
