A good VIM keybinding plugin is a must for me as well. The one available for LightTable, for instance, simply wasn't sufficient IMO. I can't specifically remember what it lacked, but it was enough to throw me off.

Vintage mode in ST2/3 isn't perfect, but it's pretty solid.

Atom looks interesting. I really look forward to trying it out.

Agreed. Nothing beats evil-mode in Emacs, as far as I'm concerned. That's a model for other vim emulation layers to follow IMO.
Don't hear as many folks talking about emacs in evil mode. I tried that out for a bit, and I'm not really sure why I didn't stick with it. I used it a few months. I always liked the modal nature of vim and the operator/motion sequences, but I'm a fan of lisp/emacs and remember enjoying how emacs was put together more, from a modification standpoint (I don't remember any of it now)

I'll have to try that out again

Yeah, Vintage mode was okay. I liked the Vintageous plugin a bit better but even that left me wishing for Vim some of the time (more time to adapt might've helped).

Other than that, it seems like an incredibly well-designed editor. Really looking forward to seeing what happens to it now that it's out in the open.
