It is impossible for me to switch between vim and viper. My hands will just start doing a text manipulation that doesn't work in whichever I'm currently using, and it breaks my flow. Prior to evil-mode, when I used emacs for something, I used it without viper because at least then it was so very different that it didn't trick my subconscious into doing something that wouldn't work. With a few tweaks to my config, I never have that problem with evil.
