I can completely relate to this.

What helped me the most was Ch 2 from "Clojure for the Brave and True" https://www.braveclojure.com/basic-emacs/

Basically how to open, save and basic editing. I knew it was going to be slow and mildly painful to learn but I wanted to learn Clojure (since moved on to Common Lisp).

I used Vim for several years and would still consider myself very novice. I don't dig into anything for the sack of digging. I learn just enough to do what I need to do. When I need something new then I look it up. Same thing with Emacs, I've been using it for 4 or 5 months. I enjoy it and it lets me work with Common Lisp so I'm happy.
