I used to use emacs-evil but found myself having to remember both vim and emacs keybindings. That may be my own fault since I probably wasn't using ALL the settings / extra packages that make vim keybindings work everywhere.
I've since switched to god-mode [0], which just turns emacs keybindings into modal ones. I find it works quite well. I think emacs keybindings are easier to remember but harder to use. Turning them modal solved that for me. (For example, Ctrl + F for forward, Ctrl + B for backward is easy to remember, but hjkl is right by your fingertips).
Side-note, it looks like god-mode was archived and then made part of the emacs orphanage. I started using it years after it was archived before it was part of the emacs orphanage. Noticed no issues, since again all it does is just make emacs keybindings modal.

- luispauloml 4y agoAlthough it is in the orphanage, the current maintainer is very receptive to contributions. I believe there isn't much activity because it is very stable, and there aren't that many users to find its flaws. For me, the biggest problem is remembering to turn it off before starting editing, but I guess that fault is on me, and it must happen to everyone at least once in a while.
- _emacsomancer_ 4y agoThere's active development of god-mode still though[0]. Mentioned elsewhere here, I've found meow[1] to be really interesting/good. And it leverages some of what makes god-mode nice (from their list of key features: "Minimizes modifier usage (e.g. `SPC x f` for `C-x C-f`) inspired by god-mode") [0]: https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode/commits/master https://github.com/emacsorphanage/god-mode/commits/master [1]: https://github.com/meow-edit/meow https://github.com/meow-edit/meow
