I tried Vim bindings in Atom for about five minutes before the inconsistencies pushed me back to regular Vim (this was back when I started learning). I switched to emacs/evil-mode a while ago (maybe 7-8 months into using Vim) and I've really enjoyed it. Evil does everything I want (at least that I know I want). There are unsupported features, but not ones I'm familiar with. Text objects are supported and the ports of commentary and surround have worked great as well. Marks and macros are fully supported. I much prefer emacs-style remapping, and there is a package, vim-leader, that gives you a nice way to define leader mappings. I can't speak for :g// (don't really use it and on a phone at the moment so I can't check) but :s// works well. My overall opinion is that vim-style editing is second to only rolling your own modal editing style (there is an emacs package that lets you do that, I believe) and that emacs as a host editor for that editing is hard to best as well. To be fair, I'm a really big fan of Lisp, so that's also part of the draw for me. Magit is something else to try out as well. In my opinion, it's much better than fugitive.
