Do you know about Viper, a really good vi emulator inside Emacs? At
least it is very good in Emacs 22. Emacs 22 is not yet released but very
stable and will hopefully soon be in pretest.

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.
