If you want to look like a pro, then yes.

If you like it.

I prefer it over Vim because I've spent more time with emacs than Vim.

Some people get weirdly defensive about what editors they're using, which I don't get, since it's only you yourself that's going to use it.

Are you satisfied with the current editors on the market?
>Yes
Then no.
>No
Then yes.

It's easily the most customize-able IDE+Browser+Whatever you want it to be as long as it doesn't involve videos.

I wish I never tried Emacs. It's so bad and I dislike it, but it turned out to be best available IDE for a few languages and works well enough to keep me using it. Realizing same sane configs took me a while, do you want a redux for saner beginnings?

The thing is it really tries to take over everything. It's made for long sessions which I did not get used to. Switching from Emacs to terminal by closing Emacs is just not the best thing. It has build-in terminal emulators, but these can't handle ncurses or similar, are slow for bigger outputs and behave more like buffers over commandline.

Org-mode is an interesting thing. One big part of it is markup language slightly more featured than markdown, but less verbose than LaTeX. With editing features like collapsing sections, on-fly rendering of latex equations or unicode characters, syntax highlighting for code snippets, table aligning, and even more. And than it's also agenda for planning things, never got used to it, allegedly it's really good. As for markup I sticked with markdown but really miss Org's editing features, never managed to get it work for markdown mode.

Magit is another great package, is planned to be merged into base. "Git porcelain", visualized logs, diffs between commit or branches, helps with merging and rebasing, handles committing and pushing.
