vim is definitely runnable in emacs's vterm, which is more similar to the terminal in Vim than any of emacs's shell, eshell, or eterm modes. As an evil user, I tended to remember this after I ran `git commit` and then try to remember how to pause evil so I could address vim. (I now use `with-editor` to set $EDITOR back to the parent emacs, and have mostly switched to magit)
