I found that Emacs + Evil is a pretty good replacement for Vim. Nowadays there is also NeoVim.

I consider NeoVim a Vim, too, thus I don't mention it separately, even though a lot of the internals has been changed around. I wish them a lot of luck.

Evil mode in Emacs seems to be a bit of a crutch. I was actually an emacs user for awhile, and a lot of emacs' power imo comes from using emacs "the right way". I respect emacs and emacs users.

There is also Spacemacs, which imho, is much better than Emacs + Evil.
Spacemacs is Emacs + Evil...
But with a fantastic boilerplate that requires minimal set up and very easy ways to configure it.
plus that annoying space button
