Well, I'm sorry to say that org-mode was the reason I abandoned viper.
It's probably a limitation of mine, but I found it too confusing to go
back and forth between all the C-c keys and viper's modal commands. I
also found the behavior of "dd" and the like to be unpredictable when
called on closed outline headings, drawers, etc. I much prefer the
behavior of C-k in org-mode's native keybindings. I imagine there are
others around here who have gotten it working.

IMO, viper is fine for relatively simple text modes. But for more
complex modes, I found it easier to stick with emacs' native
keybindings.

YMMV.
