I read the built in help and the recommended parts didn't take too long (30 - 90 minutes somewhere I guess).
Used the GUI version (the menus are usueful for reference when I started) but learned the new copy / paste keys instead of using Windows standard and generally try to pick up every shortcut.
I've tried a few "distros" and found one I liked. I also spent a little (too much?) time on implementing org-mode, mostly according to http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
Wouldn't use it for window manager though for roughly the same reasons I wouldn't use the tractor to go shopping with the family.
(Background: I've used vim for configuration for the last few years and ST2/3 + Netbeans for developement, never touched emacs before last fall except by accident.)
