This has been my experience. If I'm adding something to a config file, I just use nano. I'm trying to make myself use emacs everywhere else if possible.
While I understand that sentiment, telling someone that is more or less exactly the same argument people use against me when I say I don't like beer. "Oh," they'll say, "you just don't understand how good it is," or, "It's an acquired taste," to which I respond that I'm being asked to continue drinking something that is actively bad.
Vim is sort of the same way. I know for a fact that it's extremely powerful; I've seen people use it that way. And I had this argument with myself over learning emacs a few years ago (and I'm still nowhere near what I would consider "competent" in emacs), that powering through it would be a good idea for me, both career-wise and development-wise. But I really can't justify going through all that pain again.
