Have you tried the evil mode or whatever vim emulator suits your fancy?

Is your config out there in the wild?

I did. It's nice - it actually emulates Vim instead of Vi, which makes a huge difference. With proper plugins you get even things like surround and increment/decrement number at point. I stopped using it temporarily because it didn't work well on my Windows machine and when I moved to *nix-only Emacs I forgot to enable it back. It's great for reducing the shock of switching though :)

It somewhat is, although it's not the greatest thing in terms of organization or portability. I'm telling myself that I will move to el-get and stop having all the plugins in this repository and so on, but I didn't do this yet. My own code is here: https://github.com/piotrklibert/dotemacs_reloaded/tree/maste...

Just to set the record, I use evil-mode on Windows and haven't had any problems. I also use it on Mac/Linux and haven't noticed inconsistencies.
