Should I start getting used to emacs?

Question

emacs

Perhaps the question will seem from the category of idiots, but still, is emacs really that good? Multitasking, touted by many, attracts, in the plan everything is included here for you and a mail client and a browser and irc, etc. Is there anyone who actually uses emacs, can it replace many standalone programs and is it really so cool that people buy pedals to control it? Is it worth it to overcome and roll in, or is it just a "show-off" from people who have mastered and prove how everything is good there, although in reality things are worse?
ps I do not want to offend anyone, just curious.
pps Oh yes, I plan to use for css, html, js and "C"

Answer 1

As a person who has been using Emacs for over 10 years, using all those email and irc clients, even writing simple elisp packages myself, I would say: not worth it.
Emacs is a tool that can do everything, but it doesn't do it perfectly. My main language is Python, and the capabilities of, for example, PyCharm are so superior to Emacs that it makes no sense even to compare. Finding errors in the code, navigation, refactoring - all this had to be adjusted in Emacs for weeks, and still worked through the stump deck. Somewhere the highlight is buggy, somewhere the refactoring does not work. There is always something to tweak and tweak.
And so in everything. There were always problems with email clients. One works, but is no longer supported by the author. The second one has a perverse mail handling logic (for example, gnus). As soon as you get used to this logic, some glitches with Cyrillic or letters from some Outlook begin. Yes, Microsoft always breaks standards, but that doesn't make it any easier.
In addition, after leaving Emacs for Vim/Pycharm+IdeaVIM, all the symptoms of tunnel syndrome disappeared completely. The last years of work in Emacs, by the end of the working day, my hands were very sore.
