I wonder how this compares to my favorite combo, Emacs+Evil+Sly.

  Me too. The primary use case for Emacs is writing Emacs init files[1], which are themselves a dialect of Lisp. Because of this, it's a solid tool out of the box for working with s-expressions. On the other hand, The vi family is historically very much a line oriented editor, so I'd be very interested in seeing a screencast of what an optimized vim CL workflow looks like. On a tangent, I feel the popularity of vi style bindings is more of an indictment of the standard substandard terminal based keyboards we use. Emacs bindings make a lot more sense ergonomically on a space cadet style keyboard where control and meta are comfortably pressed with the thumb. [1] Haha, only serious.

    On your tangent, I use vi bindings _and_ map Ctrl to Alt, so that I can chord using only thumb.
