I think it is completely worth it to learn the Vim editing commands. You can get a lot of the benefits from just turning on Vim-mode in VSCode or IntelliJ. Emacs with Evil mode is an improvement in my opinion as well. The quick line editing, moving around the file, etc etc smooth out your programming experience a lot.

If you're working a lot with text, Vim macros are great. I'll regularly go into Vim as kind of a text workbench.

If you want to try an auto-updating Vim suite, check out LazyVim [0]. The defaults are great, and there's a lot of features with absolutely zero configuration.
