Well, there's vimacs (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=300 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=300) which gives you the basic keybindings and modeless editing. I agree though that the vi modes for emacs give you more than the emacs mode for vi. I started out in Emacs, used it and customized it for years. Then I decided to see what I was missing in Vim, so I switched entirely for two years. I became very comfortable with that world. Then I spent about a year in the strange netherworld of viper-mode and vimacs, switching around more or less at random. Eventually, I landed back in plain emacs for most things and have been there for the last ten years. I have nothing against vim and still use it from time to time, particularly when I'm working on a remote server. I just realized that for me, emacs was at least as capable on every front and seemed to suit my way of working better.
