I'll go against the grain. Probably not. If you already "have a good setup for programming already", then I think the gains in productivity for you would be minimal, and you might even lose productivity with the time it takes you to transition to Emacs.

I used Emacs for a few years. At first I just used it as a TUI text editor. Then I started using it as an GUI IDE, browsing the web, as a full blown window manager/desktop environment with exwm...the thing that happens with Emacs, is that once you start using it for one thing, you start using it for everything, even when there are better options available. You might end up boxing yourself in. Personally, I am more happy using the wide world of programs available out there that aren't written in Emacs Lisp.

But if it's for fun, then do what you want, y'know?
