I love emacs but I love my fingers more. :)

ps: I've remapped default key bindings.

evil-mode rocks if you like Vim's way.

I don't really have a need for such an advanced text editor (I'm no programmer/dev), but it's fun. Also I will at least get skills to manipulate text and lines in bulk, which is not doable in a normal text editor like Writer. It will basically be a time-saver to me.

So I'll be underusing this monster a whole lot.
Are there any "normal use" things for Emacs that can be worth learning?
For example, The TODO in org looks cool, even if I have yet to get used to it.

Writer is not a "text editor" (like Emacs, GEdit, etc.), it is a WYSIWYG "text processor". Different uses, although you can do (not WYSIWYG) text processing in a text editor (e.g., writing in LaTeX).

And, everybody is underusing Emacs: Emacs is huge! You cannot know it all.
