I used vim for YEARS and it still hold a fond place in my heart... and my muscle memory. I use a flavor of emacs, spacemacs, that has had a TON of work to map it's controls to "vim-style" keybindings. If Emacs didn't have vim-style editing, I would not use it. If you want a more lightweight solution, https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil-collection is a set of evil-mode keybindings to get you started.
