Best way to get into it is to pick one use case and stick with that for a while. Before you know it, you will want more.

For me it was org mode (with evil mode because I was coming from 15+ years of Vim). Then..

"Oh, I can manage files and edit a directory like a file buffer.."

"Oh, I can SSH into systems and edit files but it doesn't even feel like SSH.."

"Oh, this makes a great, distraction free IDE.."

I recommend a batteries included distro like Doom Emacs or Space Emacs.
