imho: no.
i think, to really master emacs takes the same amount of time as it does for vi.
[by "really master" i mean more than just "read/type/save"... :) ].

if you're using "Vim", what do you really gain by switching over to emacs?
[besides syntax highlighting]
if you're using old vi, take my advice and switch to vim! that's a smooth
transition while still being a huge step! :)

if one has used an editor for a long time, its features are sort of
"hard-wired" in one's spine :) which speeds things up a lot -- by switching
to another editor you're starting that learning process over again.
