"The most frustrating thing for me about regular Vim is not being able to move around a line as easily when I’m in insert mode. With Evil I can have C-a, C-e, M-s, M-f, and M-b without jumping in and out of insert." Assuming that in emacs, C-a moves the cursor to the beginning of the line and C-e moves the cursor to the end of the line, it's possible make these keys do the same thing in insert mode in vim by putting the following in your ~/.vimrc inoremap <C-a> <C-o>0 inoremap <C-e> <C-o>$ I don't know what M-s and M-f do in emacs, but if someone tells me, I be able to figure out a vim equivalent. Also, I strongly recommend visiting #vim on freenode. There are many very knowledgable people there who can help.
