I don't feel like learning emacs and trying to shoehorn vim mode (evil?) into it (vim-style editing is much too ingrained in my text-editing muscle-memory).
I understand that you do not want to leave your prefered editor but just wanted to sya that enabling Vim key-bindings with evil is a one line configuration. After that is feels native. I would not call it shoehorning at all.
