Steve Losh in his already-classic CL blog post [^1] suggests either Vlime or Slimv, quote:

„If you’re like me and already have Vim burned too deeply into your fingers to ever get it out, I’d recommend Vim with Vlime. It will give you 80% of the experience you’ll get with Emacs.”

If you want 100% of SLIME goodness without sacrificing vim, try spacemacs [^2]. I switched about two years ago and am very happy.

I'm in the process of switching after many years of using vim, and it’s been incredible so far. Spacemacs really is like vim, only with way more features out of the box, and way better discoverability, so it's really quick to get up to speed.

Or just Evil + Evil-collection. Spacemacs is pretty bloated.

I have not heard before about evil-collection. I have thought about having a custom setup, but my .spacemacs has grown a bit, so it's going to be a major work. I will try it at some point, just to check my elisp-fu

Thanks for the tip!
