I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by not knowing emacs.

I tried to learn emacs once, and the tutorial started with "I've been using emacs for about 25+ years and I'd say I'm about a middle of the road user"... that was when I was like, "No, I'll just keep using IntelliJ or vscode or whatever".

It's not that I love or even care about any IDE, I just literally haven't the first clue as to even get started with emacs. So what should I do if I want to give it a second chance?
