> Is learning LaTeX anywhere near as useful to a professional developer as say learning vim or emacs?

I would say no (even though I use latex nearly every single day).

On the other hand, it is indispensable if you're doing maths or anything that involves lots of formulas, citations, footnotes and what not, because it decouples the structure of the document from the formatting.
