I don't think spacemacs and the vim emulation, evil, have anything to do with each other. I switched from vim to emacs a while back and haven't had any issues with evil mode. As far as spacemacs goes it seems neat. I tried it once but it was too confusing and I've been using emacs for so long now that it's very finely tuned to what I need it to do.
