It can be overwhelming getting started with Emacs, but if configuring your editor feels like a waste of time to you, then this probably isn't the right time for Emacs in your life.
But! If you see something you really like in Emacs, and you want to try to get a quick start and get to work, search the web for some articles on how to set it up as an IDE for ONE of those languages. Copy the code, make sure you're putting it in the right place, and give it a shot! You may find yourself really liking the editor.
I also recommend Doom Emacs, whether you're coming from Vim or not, because it makes it easy to get yourself 90% of the way to what you want, configuration-wise, with RELATIVE ease.
Good luck!
