Is Vim worth the effort?

I'm the bastard child of IDE's and code completion. Would my workflow be faster if I were familiar with Vim?

I read that the shortcuts used repeatedly in Emacs are uncomfortable :/

Oh yes they are. But on the other way, Emacs is very good if the only thing you have is a text-mode terminal. You can have email, an excelent diff, web browser and lots of shit. But using Ctrl-X o just to change windows is a pain in the anus.
