Worth it? Absolutely, without a doubt. Should you? Only if you find it fun, especially if you prefer the keyboard to the mouse, although you can definitely use the mouse in vim too.
I would go with neovim over vim nowadays, and if you want something more familiar that will get you up and running more quickly, try AstroNvim [0]. Later on, if you also like to tinker, you can set it all up just the way you like it.
I've heard of vim being called a PDE (personalized DE) [1], and I think that makes a lot of sense.
