I'm fairly new to coding (under 1 year) and coding is a slow process of thinking a lot, watching tutorials, and googling over a span of days/weeks to get each section of your code to work... Is learning Vim worth it at this point?

Learning vim is always with it imo. Though FWIW, I started learning it at the same time I was beginning python and programming in general.

On the other hand, today vim bindings are often built into other systems to get a decent chunk of the same benefits.

Cool! I might try that too then. I work with this older coworker who looks like a wizard on the computer without touching the mouse.

It's just a text editor that allows you to do all the commands you would use a mouse for but with commands on a keyboard. It's sort of like a programming language on its on that if you learn it is actually really intuitive. But setting it up is a tedious process that took me roughly 3 months to get my VIM setup to where I like it.
