I hear good things about evil-mode & viper for emacs. Dunno about Neovim's remote editing protocol though. TRAMP does the trick exceedingly well for me (to include 'remote' editing as root on the local machine, which is kinda awesome).

I have tried evil mode many times. It just doesn't work. It may be 99% faithful implementation of vim but I hit the missing 1% so often that I throw up my hands before quitting out to use the real thing.

Which parts of EVIL mode don’t work as you expect them to?

99% of ex commands don't work.
