hmm.. but you also spent a lot of time to learn programming. Why not invest some time in the use of professional tools? If you master an editor like vim, you'll never need to spend time to learn additional IDEs. In the past i needed to learn VSCode, Eclipse, IntelliJ, XCode, Visual Studio and some other niche IDEs. All have very different menu structures and keybinds. Just to unify that was worth the time learning vim.

Because I don't need to? I honestly think it would be easier to follow along with a tutorial for whatever language I'm using in any of those editors you've mentioned than one for Vim or Emacs.
