I'm not a programmer but I use vim a lot. To me the vim keybindings are a portable element of vim. They are very keyboard friendly IMO and for that reason very much worth learning. Now, which editor you want to go with is another matter. Go with vim, vi, emacs, neovim, VSCode, PyCharm, Sublime (in no intelligible order) but I truly believe the vi keybindins are a huge benefit for someone who can touch type. I love both vim and emacs. I am a civil engineer.
