I second viper. I used vi for many years before starting to use emacs
(so that I could use gnus), and I don't think I'd be able to give up the
command-mode/insert-mode distinction. It's just too keyboard-friendly.
I personally consider viper to be more of an implementation of vi in
elisp; it generally works quite well with other emacs modes without
interfering with their use. There are a few exceptions, though -- I'd
love to get viper to work better with folding.el, for example.
